Finding a fluffy pancake recipe is a no-brainer, but when it
comes to cooking them, many of us suddenly lose their enthusiasm. Sure, you can
follow a guide
to perfect pancake recipes, but it won’t change the fact that you need to
stand over the stove top and flip, flip, flip plus adjust the temperature and
take care not to overcook or overmix the batter so that you don’t ruin your
fluffy pancake recipe.
Well, lazy people around the world can relax, I have found a
perfect pancake recipe that will prevent them from sweating.
The Perfect Pancake Recipe for Lazy People: Sheet Pan Pancakes
The sheet pan is your new best friend when it comes to preparing
a whole batch of your favorite fluffy pancake recipe, all at once!
The benefits range from minimizing the mess in the kitchen to
saving you time and energy because there is no flipping involved! All you need
is some patience while you are enjoying your morning cup of coffee and trying
to resist the amazing smell that comes from the kitchen. Your perfect pancake
recipe will be cooked in about 10 minutes and you know what? It will look a lot
like cake!
In order to prepare this quick and easy breakfast, you need:
- Your
favorite fluffy pancake recipe
(If you need such fluffy pancake recipe, here is the one I
use to make the batter:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter)
Besides a perfect pancake recipe, you will also need:
- A
rimmed sheet pan (18x13’’)
- 2
tablespoons butter (melted)
- Aluminum
foil
- Add-ins
of choice (I usually use chocolate chips)
Next, follow the tips and tricks to make the most of this
fluffy pancake recipe:
Prepare the batter following your favorite fluffy pancake
recipe. Feel free to double the quantity of all the ingredients, especially if
the sheet pan you are using is larger. Otherwise, the final product will be too
flat and thin and you can say goodbye to your perfect pancake recipe.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line the sheet pan with
aluminum foil, then brush it with melted butter. Pour the pancake batter
evenly.
Add half of the chocolate chips or any other add-ins
recommended in your perfect pancake recipe. Bake your lazy pancake halfway, for
about 7 minutes, then remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the remaining
chocolate chips/add-ins. Return to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes more
until light golden brown.
To be sure your pancake is ready, stick a toothpick at the
center. If it comes out clean, you are good to go.
Finally, in order to obtain a soft crust and an ideal golden
color, broil for a minute or so, rotating the sheet pan from a couple of times.
Let it cool completely, cut into squares with a knife or,
even better, a pizza cutter. Serve with maple syrup or pack slices in your
kids’ lunch boxes. In case you don’t devour it in the morning, store in the
fridge and finish it off in the afternoon.
You nailed your perfect pancake recipe, haven’t you?
