Recipe with a Pulselive Twist: Secret to the perfect, fluffy, homemade Cinnamon Pancakes

Ever wondered why your pancakes always seem to turn into crepes and appear flat and "chapo-like" instead of fluffy.

Sometimes the taste is more like "lahoh" (flat bread) than the buttery, cakey taste that makes a pancake delectable.

Well, the secret is in just one ingredient which many often neglect.

Milk. Yes, the answer is good old-fashioned milk.

The proteins in milk and eggs are ideal for trapping air bubbles during cooking which ends up making the pancake fluffy.

  • In a large bowl, pour the measured flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Add in the eggs and milk.
  • Using a whisk or fork, mix until well incorporated and there are no flour lumps left.
  • Heat up a wide flat pan and pour some oil before frying your first pancake.
  • Using a serving spoon or ladle, scoop a measure of the pancake batter and spread evenly on the pan.
  • Cook until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
  • Turn the pancake and cook the flip side as well. If necessary add a bit of cooking oil to avoid sticking.

Serve with tea or other breakfast beverage.
