What to add to pancake batter so that they are airy and don't break

Pancakes are a dish that everyone loves. But for some reason, they turn out thin and airy, while for others, they turn out dense and tearing.

The secret to perfect pancakes is hidden in one little trick that not everyone knows about. And today we will reveal this secret.

Let's start with choosing flour. Premium wheat flour is suitable for pancakes. But to make pancakes airy, add a little corn or buckwheat flour.

This will make the dough lighter and give it an interesting taste. Sift the flour before using: this will saturate it with oxygen.

Now about the liquid. Many people use only milk, but this is a mistake. Add some sparkling water.

Air bubbles will make the pancakes fluffier. You can also use kefir or sour milk: they give the dough a slight sourness.

The secret ingredient that will make pancakes fluffy is baking soda. But don't add it directly to the batter.

Quench the soda with vinegar or lemon juice, then stir it into the batter. This will make the pancakes porous and tender.

The dough should be the consistency of liquid sour cream. If it is too thick, the pancakes will be dense. If it is too thin, they will tear.

Let the dough sit for 20-30 minutes. This will allow the ingredients to combine and the pancakes will be more uniform.

Fry the pancakes in a well-heated frying pan. Grease it with oil only before the first pancake. The rest will come off perfectly well without it. Turn the pancakes over when the edges begin to brown.

Now you know the secret to perfect pancakes. Try these tips and you will be surprised how airy and tender they can be. Your breakfasts will become a real treat!
