The typical representation of the American breakfast is undoubtedly the pancake. Pancakes are both easy to make and delicious.
Essential Pancake Tips:
1. When it comes to achieving that sought-after fluffy texture, opt for low-gluten flour.
Nevertheless, using all-purpose flour can work too—just remember to avoid excessive mixing of the batter.
2. Crafting perfect pancakes hinges on controlling the heat and oil amount. A modest coating of oil on a sturdy skillet suffices. Regularly jiggle the pan to ensure even heating. After each pancake, resting the skillet on a damp towel cools it slightly, preventing the next batter from burning upon contact.
3. To counter any potential dryness and enhance flavor, consider topping your pancakes with moist fruits, whipped cream, maple syrup, or other delicious choices.
4. A cardinal rule prevails to deal with pancake thickness: thick batter yields thick pancakes, while thin batter yields thin ones. If butter is in the mix, refrigeration yields a thicker consistency. Tailor the batter ratio to your desired texture.
5. As for the leftover pancakes, refrigerate them for later consumption or reheat them using a microwave or steamer.

Super Soft Muffins Recipe:
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (355 ml)
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar (44 ml)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder (9.9 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt (2.5 ml)
- 1 and 1/4 cups of milk (296 ml)
- 1 large egg yolk and 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (59 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
- Maple syrup (if desired)
Procedures:
1. Mixing the Dry and Wet Ingredients
In the first bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In the second bowl, blend milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
In the third bowl, whip 3 egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks.
2. Combining the Mixtures
Pour the contents of the second bowl into the first and gently fold until just incorporated.
Transfer one-third of this mixture into the whipped egg whites and fold gently to maintain the fluffiness. Then reintroduce the egg white mixture to the larger bowl and blend thoroughly with the remaining two-thirds of the batter.
3. Cooking the Pancakes
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and coat the bottom with a thin layer of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, swirling to form a circle. Cook for about 3 minutes until bubbles surface.
Flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute until both sides are golden.
The fluffy and delicious homemade pancake is now ready. Brush with more butter or maple syrup before serving.
