Locos Por La Comida proposes you to make this basic pancake batter with sunflower oil. An easy recipe that you can flavor or accompany by different ingredients and obtain both sweet and savory pancakes. Ideal for making all kinds of cannelloni, adding fruit or simply in the classic style with dulce de leche. Go for this much lighter version!
Let’s talk about the recipe:
Preparing this recipe is simple because it has no complications in terms of its preparation and has more than one advantage. The ingredients used are just a few and frequently used, easy to find in any market. In addition, you can change any of them according to preference or need without inconvenience.
About the ingredients:
The flour used on this occasion is 0000 flour, commonly known in other countries as all-purpose flour. In general, depending on its brand, it can absorb more or less amount of liquid. That is why I recommend incorporating gradually. As a result, keep in mind that the smaller the volume, the smaller the final product.
The fat used is sunflower oil. But you can substitute butter, margarine, olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Even so, depending on what fat is used, it can change its texture and final flavor. Therefore, always keep in mind the type and class of ingredients when preparing a specific recipe.
In the same way, you have the choice of using milk, vegetable drink, fruit juice or just water. As well as a mixture of them, that is, half and half. However, replacing it exclusively with water will result in a more rustic texture. Therefore, keep the details in mind when modifying a recipe.
Being a basic dough, another possibility is to make it sweet or salty by adding sweetener or salt. Likewise, the alternative of flavoring to taste with spices or different essences such as vanilla, lemon, orange, etc. Also add fruits such as apples and pears, grated or whole, according to preference.
About the dough:
Once the dough is ready, it is advisable to store it in the refrigerator for half an hour to hydrate the flour. Probably, after this rest, the dough will thicken. So depending on the thickness of the pancakes you want, you may need to add more liquid. Since the density of pancakes varies greatly from the fluidity of the dough.
About Cooking:
Finally, these pancakes are cooked in a frying pan, preferably non-stick and at a medium low temperature. Once hot, the pan is brushed with butter, sunflower oil or vegetable spray. Next, using a ladle or measuring cup, scoop in some batter, spreading it all over the bottom of the pan.
This cooking is done on both sides: when the dough coagulates and the edges come off, make a quick turning movement of the pan to flip the pancake in the air. If you don’t have experience, use a spatula. At last, cook for a few more seconds. It is important not to burn or dry out so that they do not break when rolled.
