Ingredients for Always Ready Pancakes

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 packet vanillin
  • 0.7 oz milk (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • to taste chocolate chips (optional)

Tools for Always Ready Pancakes

  • 1 Mixer Electric Beaters
  • 1 Container ice cube tray
  • 1 Plastic Bag bags

Steps for Always Ready Pancakes

  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients in the order they are listed, continuously mixing with the beaters.

    Once the batter is smooth and without lumps, we can transfer it into our ice cube tray, enrich it with chocolate chips or fresh (or dried) fruit, and store it in the freezer for at least two hours.

    Now, heat a pan, without letting it get too hot. Grease the bottom with a drop of oil, using a napkin. Now cook the pancakes over low heat and with the lid on. This is essential to ensure that the pancakes cook evenly without remaining raw inside. Cook them for a few minutes on each side. They are ready to serve.

Storage and Tips

These pancakes are made for those who have little time and prefer to prepare the batter in advance to have it always available. Indeed, I recommend, once the cubes are solidified, transferring them into a space-saving reusable container.

The pancakes, with this recipe, will turn out as good as if the batter was made fresh, and with the addition of maple syrup, they will be irresistible.
