These Thin Pancakes are so quick and easy to make. Made without baking powder, these pancakes have a wonderfully soft and tender texture, simply delicious! A healthier breakfast option and can be made ahead of time too.
To cook perfect lacy thin pancakes, make sure the non stick pan or skillet is evenly heated before making the pancakes. Grease with butter evenly. Then pour on the pancake batter and quickly swirl it around.The non stick pan should be nice and hot before you start making the pancakes. To test the temperature of the cooking surface, throw a few drops of cold water on it. The drops should sizzle immediately yet dance around before they disappear. If they evaporate immediately, the pan is too hot; if they just sit there without sizzling, the pan is too cool and your pancakes won’t get that lovely browned exterior.Pouring the pancake batter using a measuring cup is advisable as it gives you more control and result in more consistent size pancakes.If you are making plain pancakes without the nestum, then use 400ml water instead of 450ml.The liquid pancake batter can also be place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour or up to 2 days before cooking. If the batter becomes too thick after chilling, thin it out with a little water.To keep the pancakes warm, cover them with a clean cloth or aluminium foil. Otherwise keep them in a 65 degree C oven till they are served.If not eaten right away, stack and wrap in aluminium foil and plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Can also be frozen for about 1 month. When needed, reheat in oven or on a non stick pan. There is no need to use a special pan to cook the pancakes. Any non stick pan is fine.When cooking the pancakes, if the batter is setting before you can spread the batter over the surface of the pan, reduce the heat. If it doesn't set fast enough, increase the heat.If you happen to pour too much batter so that it forms a really thick pancake, pour the excess batter back into the measuring cup. Otherwise you will end up with a thick and rubbery pancake.
