Pancake mixture is usually made of very simple ingredients such as flour, eggs, butter and milk. To prepare delicious pancakes, use organic eggs when making pancake mixture. Organic eggs have deeper-yellow yolks, so a pancakes made with them will have a better color. The flour should be plain. Milk can be skimmed or full cream, it doesn't make a big difference. Instead of milk, you can use buttermilk. It tastes really delicious. And salt of course, even the tiniest pinch makes a difference. And you can put it even if you are making sweet pancakes.
Some people like to let the pancake mixture stand for 30 minutes because it can give a lighter consistency. To cook pancakes use vegetable or sunflower oil. Don't use olive oil as it can give a savoury taste to sweet pancakes. Don't put too much oil on the frying pan, because the pancake mixture can turn gooey. Always make sure that the pan is non-stick. And remember that the pan will retain heat, so the more pancakes you make, the quicker the oil will heat and the less time it will take.
