After seeing so many pancake recipes, I really craved them 😋😋😋. Since I ate very healthily and lots of greens all week, it was time for something more indulgent, caloric, and delicious. I couldn't wait to make these—they have a lovely texture, soft and with a hint of cardamom mm mm mmm.

Steps

30 minutes

1

For the buttermilk: Add the lemon juice to the milk, mix, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, sugar, and cardamom.
3

Add the egg, butter, and milk (after the 10 minutes have passed) and mix with a mixer for just one minute. This creates a mixture with a lot of air but without activating the gluten, resulting in very soft pancakes.
4

Now cook on low heat with a little butter. I use a 50 ml measure to make them all the same size. Getting them perfectly round is a challenge for another day.

Since we're cooking on low heat, help the pan with a glass lid to create an oven effect. As soon as you see bubbles, flip them. Cook the other side the same way, with the lid. Here's a photo without the lid to show the fluffiness and lightness of the batter.

Makes about 12 small pancakes. You can keep them warm between the pan and the table with a special trick.

Mantener calientitos los hot cakes

Tips

Mantener calientitos los hot cakes

En un hermético de vidrio o plástico con tapa, pones primero una servilleta de tela, luego papel encerado que cubra el fondo, luego vas poniendo los hot cakes de preferencia que no queden como torre, sino dispersos. Antes de poner la tapa, poner una servilleta de papel (esta absorbe agua que se condensara) y ahora si la tapa sin cerrar por completo, solo sobrepuesta. Aquí los podemos mantener hasta llevar a la mesa
