Mug pancakes without weighing and without worries. Quick batter measured by a cup, fluffy and elastic pancakes that don't tear. Tips for flavoring and fillings.

Looking for a pancake recipe you can’t mess up even without a scale?

You can scent them with vanilla or cinnamon and fill them with what you like. An ideal weekend breakfast and a quick dinner.

For 6 portions

Ingredients

1 cup of milk
1 cup of water
1 cup of all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 tablespoons of oil
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1 packet of vanilla sugar or ground cinnamon

Preparation procedure

Prepare the batter by sifting the flour into a bowl, adding the salt, baking powder and vanilla sugar or cinnamon. Stir in the eggs and oil.
Warm the milk slightly (it doesn't need to be hot), and while whisking constantly pour it in a thin stream into the flour mixture until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Pour in the water and whisk again.
Let the batter rest for 10–20 minutes so the flour hydrates evenly and the pancakes are flexible.
Heat the pan over medium heat. Before the first pancake drop a little oil, ladle out a thin layer of batter and spread it with a circular motion.
Fry until golden, flip and briefly cook the other side. Usually you don't need to grease the pan for subsequent pancakes (depends on the pan).
Fill with jam, quark, chocolate spread, fruit or cinnamon sugar.

Servings: approx. 4–6 (12–16 pancakes depending on size)

Total preparation time: 35–45 minutes (10 min prep + 10–20 min resting + 15 min frying)

Tips:

For extra-elastic pancakes add 1 tablespoon of rum to the batter – it will improve the aroma and, by evaporating, help prevent tearing.
If you want completely thin pancakes, thin the batter with a tablespoon or two of water just before frying.
Savory version: omit vanilla/cinnamon, add a pinch of pepper and herbs, and fill with ham, cheese or spinach.

Conclusion

Mug pancakes are a sure thing: quick batter, minimal dishes and a result you can flavor sweet or savory. You can easily adjust the recipe to taste and quantity – just change the cup size or scale the ingredients. Once you try them, they’ll become a staple of your diet.
