Easy Pancake Batter Recipe
Perfect pancakes start with the right batter. Even if you're a pro at flipping them, the secret lies in getting the mix just right! We’ll also guide you in choosing the best beer for making pancakes.
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 300g flour
- 25cl lager beer
- 50cl milk
- 3 eggs
- 20g melted butter
This batter is incredibly simple to prepare. First, gather all the ingredients. For a smooth, lump-free texture, sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and start mixing. Gradually pour in the milk and beer while stirring to avoid lumps.
For extra flavor, you can customize your batter with ingredients like vanilla, oil, or even rum as a substitute for beer.
Tip: Adjust the proportions based on how many pancakes you need. For about 20 pancakes, use 500g flour, 60cl milk, and 35cl beer.
Which Beer to Choose?
For pancake batter, we recommend using a light lager and avoiding overly bitter beers. However, if you want a more pronounced taste, try characterful beers like Leffe Noël.
When it comes to pairing your pancakes, you have plenty of options! A chocolate-topped crepe pairs wonderfully with Magic Rock Dark Arts, an English stout, Kwak Ambrée, a legendary Belgian beer, or even Orchard Pig, an exceptional cider.
