Gluten-Free Flour Tip:

You can either use standard gluten-free universal flour or Schär Pancakes & Waffles baking mix.

I like to use 1/3 gluten-free flour and add 1/3 each with buckwheat flour and rice flour.

4. Grandma’s Pancakes Recipe

Grandma’s recipe with ingredients and preparation:

–> Sift 120-150 g flour into a baking bowl,

Immediately add:

–> 4 beaten eggs

–> 1 tbsp sugar

–> 1 packet of vanilla sugar

–> 3 pinches of salt

Mix the dough slowly and

–> Slowly add 250 ml milk and stir.

Tips from grandma’s kitchen:

  • For frying, the iron pan was used for egg dishes and pastries.
  • The pan was heated and a small amount of butter with oil in it.
  • The pan was always cleaned immediately after use with water and a brush.
  • After cleaning, the pan was additionally oiled, so it never rust.
  • I have an iron pan, but the care is already cumbersome. Today I prefer to use a copper pan.

5. Baking Fat For Pancakes

To fry the pancakes, you need heat-resistant oil.

Why is fresh butter not ideal for frying?

–> Butter must not get too hot, otherwise it will burn.

–> If the pan is too hot, the butter will brown or burn.

–> Experienced cooks use a little oil first and add butter later.

Baking the optimal fat for pancakes:

–> Refined vegetable oil such as rapeseed oil

or

–> Pure clarified butter –> Nut butter or –> Ghee

We know ghee from Indian cuisine, which is a special and long-cooked clarified butter.

In gastronomy it is common to mix clarified butter into the dough.

6. Portion the Pancakes Optimally

For an even result, opt for a small ladle.

I use a small 60ml ladle.

The 60-80 ml capacity scoop is a good recommendation.

Heat the pan and add a little fat.

Spread the fat in the pan.

The bottom of the pan is only thinly covered with the batter.

That’s why I lift the pan from the stove and spread the batter thinly by gently swiveling it back and forth.

I then bake the pancakes until golden.

Adjust the size of the ladle to the size of the pan!

7. Pancakes Without Eggs

In the case of food intolerances, it is always helpful to find some tips for ingredient substitutions.

Preparing pancakes without eggs is not a problem, and the milk can also be substituted:

You can leave out the eggs and replace them with a little baking powder.

You can swap out cow’s milk and use oat milk or soy milk.

Recipe pancakes without egg and substitute products:

MengeEinheitZutat
300gWheat flour, rice flour, gluten-free flour
500mlWhole milk, oat milk or soy milk

8. Pancake Mug Recipe

Because it’s so practical, I’m adding a pancake recipe without scales or without weighing.

So that it doesn’t get boring, I’ve added the variant with mineral water or sparkling water.

The carbonic acid in the mineral water makes the pancake batter fluffy.

Gourmets know this tip from pizza dough .

Important: I only slowly stir the soda into the pancake batter at the end, otherwise the carbon dioxide will be mixed out.

Note the cup info after the table, it’s certainly interesting to read about it.

As a basis we take a previously “weighed” or selected coffee mug.

Since we rarely measure ingredients in cups in Germany, you can find information about the international filling quantity here:

There are two units for the metric measuring cup:

–> 235 ml capacity in a US cup

and

–> 285 ml capacity in an imperial cup.

We literally translate the word “cup” as “tea”.

Here in Germany, the cup as a unit of measurement is an “approximately” unit of measurement.

Internationally, “cup” is actually a precisely defined unit.

At home, a cup helps “weigh in”

You fill different cups and find a suitable measure.

I don’t use the cup as a unit of measurement, when I “weighed in” I had the following results.

To be honest, this paragraph should warn you against typical “chef” recipes, after all, your dough should turn out well 🙂

9. Pancakes Thermomix

The miracle cauldron is very popular and I have already cooked with it and for it.

A long time ago, as a recipe developer, I was able to create 40 recipes for the Thermomix cookbook “So enjoy Austria – with the Thermomix ® TM5”.

It was an exciting time because I was able to really test the miracle kettle in the kitchen.

Regarding the pancake batter, I recommend the following procedure:

Prepare pancake batter in the Thermomix:

I would rather answer the question of whether I still use the Thermomix today:

I sold the blender because it just takes up too much space in the kitchen.

It’s just too big for a mixer at home, I cook on the stove and in the oven.

I think the good, conventional mixer with a whisk or dough hook is more practical, and as a cook I can’t do without a hand blender.

The Thermomix is a good kitchen appliance, but the whisk, dough hook and hand blender attachment are quicker to clean than the many parts of the miracle kettle blender jar and lid.

10. Pancake Sweet

The fried pancake is not quite as thin as a French crepe and fills the diameter of the pan.

You can wrap the pancakes and fill them while they are being wrapped.

The sweet pancake tastes great with jam, chocolate spread (Nutella) with syrup, yoghurt and berries.

At Christmas I like to conjure up red wine pears.

The freshly baked pancakes taste great with any kind of jam.

Ms. Sixt likes to add yoghurt and fresh berries.

Discover a few more pictures and variants here, which you will certainly taste not only during Lent!

11. Tips For Pancake Dessert

For later decoration on the plate, I roast blanched, sliced almonds in a pan without fat.

I make sure that the almonds don’t get too dark.

I usually have this almond decoration in the kitchen cupboard as a stash.

So I can quickly add sweet things or even a salad by reaching into the kitchen cupboard 🙂

Great decorative elements are:

–> icing sugar or icing sugar
–> Pistachio slivers
–> Caramelized walnuts
–> Other nuts to taste

–> Mint and daisies
–> Rose petals from organic roses
–> Berries by season
–> Traditional balsamic vinegar
–> Strawberries and wild strawberries

Fresh mint
Mint is a miracle herb and is good for the stomach.
Roasted almonds
Roasted almonds go well with salads.
caramelized walnuts
Let the very hot caramelized walnuts from the pan cool down on baking paper.

12. Pancakes As A Guest Dessert

I am often asked how to conjure up fresh or filled pancakes for 6 or 12 people at the same time.

There are two variants that I would like to show you:

You can prepare rolled pancakes filled with jam:

-> Bake the pancakes and let them cool down stacked on top of each other on a plate.

-> Spread the pancakes thinly with the desired jam and roll.

-> Place the rolled pancakes in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter.

-> Heat the pancakes in the oven at 130°C for about 20 minutes before serving.

Prepare Crepe Suzette:

-> Bake rather thin pancakes and let them cool down.

-> Prepare the orange fillets and collect the juice.

-> Add half a liter of fresh juice to the orange juice.

-> Put the orange juice in a saucepan.

-> Add the pulp and a scraped vanilla pod.

-> Reduce the orange juice by half and thicken with some cold cornstarch.

-> Season to taste with sugar. I almost always use raw cane sugar.

-> Remove the vanilla bean.

-> Place 3-4 orange fillets with a mini piece of butter on the baked pancakes.

-> Then fold the filled pancakes individually into a triangle and place in the roaster.

-> Pour the lukewarm or cooled orange juice over the prepared, pickled pancakes.

-> Your filled pancakes should still stick out of the juice and not be completely covered.

-> You can easily heat your Crêpe Suzette in the oven 20 minutes before serving.

-> I can recommend the hot air setting at 140°C for this.

-> Before heating, sprinkle the filled pancakes with some sugar and put the remaining orange fillets on top.

-> You can also flambé outdoors or without a table lamp above the table.

-> Heat 100 ml Grand Marnier in a saucepan.

-> Ignite the hot alcohol and pour over the Crêpe Suzette.

-> Please have a 🙂 fire blanket or a lid ready so that you can extinguish the fire.

Please always be careful when flambéing, you could practice or try it out in advance.

Flambéing also works directly in the pan by adding alcohol and lighting it up.

Heating the alcohol in an extra pot or in a suitable ladle makes this process safer.

Cut out the orange fillet

13. Savory Pancakes

You can prepare pancakes in sweet or salty versions, that’s a well-known fact.

Salty, it’s great as an ingredient in the soup, which we know as Flädlesuppe.

–> Simply leave out the sugar for the savory version.

–> Add fresh and finely chopped parsley or chives.

Soup garnish Flädle:

The finely sliced Flädle are an excellent addition to soups with boiled beef.

Before the main course, I like to serve the beef soup with freshly made pancake strips.

This soup ingredient goes just as well with chicken soup .

However, I only combine typical, clear soups with the Flädle, a cream soup just wouldn’t fit.

The sliced pancakes freeze well.

So you can quickly conjure up a self-prepared soup insert.

Bring the soup to the boil, add the frozen pancakes to the soup and let it steep for a moment.

The pancake soup is ready, which tastes particularly delicious when decorated with freshly cut chives.

Flädle as a soup ingredient
Flädle without sugar are finely sliced pancakes that we like to serve as a soup ingredient.
Soup for fondue
Vegetable stock, fish stock or beef stock is a good basis for the soup fondue.
Chicken soup with chives in a pot
Chicken soup in the pot with chives close-up.

Fill the pancakes with hearty fillings:

You can prepare and fill filled pancakes according to the situation:

Cream cheese, spinach or smoked salmon are ideal for this.

Thinly filled and rolled, then cut like maki , the result is a visually presentable little roll.

Filled and sliced, served with a toothpick, they are a great party finger food option.

The pancake rolls are definitely reminiscent of sushi rolls.

These taste even people who do not like raw fish.

Salmon pancakes in cucumber soup
Here I served a pancake filled with salmon and cream cheese in a cucumber soup. The rolls are great party food. Please remember!

  • Hello dear chef Thomas Sixt, I absolutely have to tell you about my latest kitchen adventure and leave a compliment for your work 🙂 I had tried the pancake cup recipe from chefkoch.de and it was a total flop. I was really desperate and didn't know what to do with the thin dough. The pancakes just didn't turn out well, so I fried a Kaiserschmarrn with raisins. It wasn't that easy, although I added flour. The dough was just too lumpy. Then I wanted to do better. Luckily I had a Facebook friend who referred me to your recipe blog page. When I visited your site, I was just amazed. So there is a real chef at work by the name of Thomas Sixt with a great resume and his photos look fantastic too. Anyone who can cook so well will surely be able to lead me to the tastiest pancakes. Here, on your site, everything is explained so brilliantly, the details are conveyed in an understandable way. Of course, I also stumbled across the mug recipe and was then able to smile. It's nice when you recognize your own mistakes when reading a precise manual and understand that. So I went straight to work and tried your recipe. The salt in the dough was new to me, by the way. I still dared to take salt and the taste of the dough was new, good and convincing. My grandma always used lemon aroma, but I followed your idea with fresh lemon zest. The Ikea hexagonal grater did a reasonably good job with the lemon and me. I have already ordered a better lemon grater. Lemon zest or the zest is the best idea for fine pancake batter. I can confirm that today. Lemon flavor is seductively simpler, but the rub tastes fresher and much better. Baking the pancakes in clarified butter still worked despite the scratched, coated pan. A cooking question comes to mind: Which pan and size would you recommend? In conclusion, everything worked out perfectly for me and the pancakes were the best I've ever eaten! That's why I'm leaving you many stars here and thank you for this great recipe! Kind regards and ****** from Alicia

  • Hi Thomas, Super successful and ingenious instructions. My first attempt at making pancakes like my mom. just went wrong. The dough had a lot of lumps, which led me to do further research. My hand blender broke shortly before, so I could only laboriously filter the dough through a tea strainer. The strange thing is when I search for pancakes on Google, the first 10 results are almost all the same. You can only find recipes from hobby cooks who seem to be copying each other. I think the worst thing is this blogger recipe, where no technical competence can be found in the text. The recipe is often at the bottom of the page, forcing you to scroll down forever. Then there is often so much useless information, I don't understand why Google lists such results so far up the list. Your recipe was recommended to me by a friend on Twitter. The preparation of specialist knowledge is absolutely unique on your side. The first big realization for me was to sift the flour. In fact, the dough is much easier to mix with the sifted flour. I hadn't used salt in combination with sugar before, the pancake batter is much tastier. My mother and grandmother never used lemon zest for the dough, that's what the inquiry at home revealed. In this respect, your description and the explanations also correspond to my research. In any case, I used the lemon zest and I think the dough is really fine with it. The question: Which fat is right for baking the pancakes also concerned me. I remember a burnt pan and smoke in the kitchen when my mother forgot to remove the pan from the stove. Here, too, your article provides the perfect information: I used clarified butter for my pancakes and the baking worked perfectly. I'm still on the go with the pan, I have to wait for my vacation pay first, then I'll also follow your pan tip. For me, this is the best pancake recipe in the world on your site. All relevant findings are optimally and clearly summarized here. Thank you for this excellent exchange of knowledge, I wish you every success with your cooking site and will definitely recommend you. Many thanks, greetings Sally

    • Hello Sally, thank you very much for your detailed and positive feedback. I am very happy if my instructions lead to a good experience in your kitchen and you get a great result on your plate. For me, Google is currently the best search engine, there are simply a lot of competitors in the recipe area and Google has the choice of listing from many documents. Technical competence is simply given too little attention by Google in the field of recipe search results. This results in the results in the search. Maybe something will change here at some point and Google will list pages from professionals and chefs better. I never tire of pointing out that the cooking profession is an apprenticeship, for an apprenticeship you sweat and learn at least 2.5 years. At the same time, I am of the opinion: fake recipes and copied recipes, the manipulation of the search results neither increase culinary education nor improve the skills of users in the kitchen. Sending you a big thank you for your honest and nice feedback. Feel free to get back to me, I also answer cooking questions here and of course I'm happy about a nice kitchen gossip and exchange. Kind regards Thomas

    • Hi Zain, a crepe is basically a thin pancake. –> Keep the batter more liquid –> Bake evenly –> Fill and enjoy Regarding your cooking question: You can fill pancakes and crepes, but the pancakes shouldn't be too thick, otherwise they won't taste as good 🙂 Crepes and pancakes both go sweet or savory.

    Reply

    • Hello Bea, your question goes a little deeper into the pan advice. Write yourself a few lines anyway: Simply repeat the burning-in with oil. Pour two fingers of oil in and heat. –> Stand still and have a lid ready for safety . –> The oil may exceptionally smoke slightly. The lid is for safety in case the oil gets too hot. –> Under no circumstances play around with water, because it splashes badly and hotly. –> Burn in the pan at high heat for approx. 30 minutes. Then turn off the stove and let the pan and oil cool down. Discard the cold oil. Always rub the pan with fresh oil before and after use because it is not rustproof. Please only clean with a brush and water. —> Use sunflower oil or rapeseed oil, no natural oil or olive oil but refined oil. Good succeed! Kind regards Thomas

  • Hello Mr. Sixt, take advantage of your generous offer to write a cooking question: I would like to buy a new pan for pancakes. Which would you recommend? I'm practically a beginner but finally have to replace the scratched old pan. I look forward to your reply! Greetings Patrick

    Reply

    • Hello Patrick, thanks for the feedback and the cooking question about the optimal pancake pan 🙂 —> Simple coated pan would be an easy and sure-fire variant. The pans from Tefal, WMF, Ballarini or other manufacturers are sometimes available from 20 euros. Handling: Guaranteed to be successful, please pay attention to the coating. Shelf life: 1-3 years, depending on the frequency of use and use of plastic turners. Note: My crepe pan is now 7 years old and still runs great. —-> Iron pan This is my favorite pan, bought one from De Buyer. The costs are less than 40 euros. Handling: You have to season the pan, then it works great. Some practice and patience required. Durability: Long lasting with no chemicals or coating. Note: Iron is a great conductor of temperature, which means it saves energy and protects the planet. As far as my information, I hope I was able to advise you well!

      • Hello Mr. Sixt, thank you 🙂 for the detailed answer. I'll probably get an iron pan and try it myself. For me, the pros outweigh the cons. Greetings Patrick.

        • Hi Patrick, that's a good choice. Heat the iron pan with oil over high heat. Then allow the oil to cool and discard. After use, only clean the pan with a brush and water and rub it again with oil. Have fun shopping and good luck! Kind regards, Thomas Sixt

  • This is a great summary of the topic and shows us the variants. I like your explanations and I think the tips are great. Tried your recipe without the pear and put different jams on the table. To be honest, this chocolate cream was also included. 🙂 This simple dish is really fun. Thank you Elfi
