Fluffy isn’t the only thing that matters when it comes to pancakes. Syrup absorption, texture, mouthfeel all play a part in how a pancake eats. In today’s video, I tweak my favourite pancake recipe to suit my taste and show you how you can tailor the recipe to suit yours. So, did you find your pancake recipe? Let me know in the comments below.

Also, if you didn’t already know, you can now listen to my video in Spanish. Simply select the Spanish audio option in the settings while watching.

MY COOKBOOK: bit.ly/3WVoXAN

Pancakes

Ingredients
- 360g (12 ½ oz) flour
- 40g (1 ½ oz) caster sugar
- 10g (2 tsp) baking powder
- 6g (1 tsp) bicarbonate of soda
- salt, to taste
- 675ml (23 fl oz) buttermilk
- 220ml (7 ½ fl oz) milk
- 3 eggs
- 75g (2 ¾ oz) unsalted butter, melted

Method
1. In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Whisk and set aside.
2. In another bowl, add the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk well.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Some small lumps are fine; you don't want to overmix the batter.
4. Place a pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Using a paper towel, wipe off any excess.
5. Ladle one pancake at a time into the pan, cooking for 5-6 minutes on the first side. When the top stops looking shiny, it's time to flip. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, then serve stacked high.

If you want fluffier pancakes:

Method
1. In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Whisk and set aside.
2. In another bowl, add the buttermilk, milk, egg yolks, and melted butter. Whisk well.
3. Add the egg whites to a third bowl and whisk until you have soft peaks.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Some small lumps are fine; you don't want to overmix the batter. Then, fold through the whisked egg whites.
5. Place a pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Using a paper towel, wipe off any excess.
6. Ladle one pancake at a time into the pan, cooking for 5-6 minutes on the first side. When the top stops looking shiny, it's time to flip. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, then serve stacked high.

  • I'm a 42 year old man and I'm waiting for Andy's uploads like it's weekend mornings cartoon time! Cheers from Greece! Thanks for another mouth watering video! ❤
  • @PoliAstroN
    Unpopular opinion; Pancake stacks are pointless. I eat them 1 by 1. It’s less dry, you can treat each pancake with love, and it’s just straight up better.

    "Eating the static off the TV" - made me lol
  • @LovehunterEU
    Pancakes here in Sweden are very thin, more like a crepe. And the crispy edges that forms from all the butter in the pan is just what makes it so fricking good! We also used to serve pancakes with ärtsoppa (yellow pea soup) and mustard every thursday.
  • I'm in my mid 60's and I remember my mother making us kids pancakes and we would have honey or golden syrup with butter. Or lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar. We never heard of maple syrup back then. Wonderful memories.
  • @cyrbrexx
    Andy thank you. You're the best thing that happened to home cooking. I use one of your recipes every week.
  • The OG pancakes are the best. Being a fellow Kiwi who hasn't lived in NZ for decades those pancakes bring back happy memories of Dad cooking them Sunday nights and when we were away camping. Sugar and lemon for us. Cheers Andy.
  • Pancake cereals are awesome. Netherlands is the country of pancakes imo. They have so many variations and sizes and all have their own names
  • @takegawa9

  • @DK-is9eb
    Andy your legit on the money every episode! You're a legit chef mate!
  • Andy never fails me. Thank you all, can't forget Mitch for his editing. Thanks chef 😊 P.s. I bet BBQs with this group is frigging awesome
  • @S0Eric
    Andy's videos put me in a better mood, and I started above average! This reminded me that I loved thin eggy pancakes from my childhood, I think made by my German grandmother.
  • @JV-pj7dz
    Hi Andy -- Love watching your videos -- short ones and long! I'm 74 and have messed up so much with pancakes my whole life -- my son and daughter both nudge me away from the stove. Haha. Instructions always mention the bubbles, but never say how many. This video gives helpful hints about how long to cook them on the first side. Maybe I'll be able to make a pancake now! Thanks!
  • I like that I can understand what Andy is saying. Alot of people mumble on their channels. 😊 yeah I'm old, it never helps 😂 I love pancakes! 🥞 and waffles ❤
  • I have friends over at my house for the weekend. Someone must be listening cause this has uploaded RIGHT BEFORE I started making pancakes
  • I usually couldn't be fluffed to make pancakes from scratch, I just buy the shaker thing you add water to, but you are very inspiring. I'll rewatch this video and try and lift my pancake game next time a gal wants pancakes.
  • @gsmith8098
    Best pancake is the one that is made for you outta love 😊
  • @raragrace5040
    Personally I love the maccas pancakes and those Pikelets they sell pre made at Coles. If I could make them like that at home I’d be so happy
  • @jb7753
    I always use self raising flour for my pancakes. I stuffed up my measurements once and got the fluffiest pancakes ever. I went heavier on the flour and lighter on the milk by accident.
