Melt in Your Mouth Sweet Cream Pancakes

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and can make the pancakes tough.

Step 4: Preheat the Pan

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. To test if the pan is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water; if they sizzle and evaporate, the pan is at the right temperature.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Avoid pressing down with the spatula; this keeps the pancakes airy and soft.

Step 6: Keep Warm

If making a large batch, keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F / 90°C) while cooking the rest. This ensures that every pancake is served fresh and soft.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and add toppings like berries, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream. The sweet cream creates a delicate melt-in-your-mouth texture that will make these pancakes disappear in minutes.

Tips for Perfection

1. Use room temperature ingredients: Eggs and cream at room temperature blend better, creating a smoother batter.
2. Do not overmix: The lighter the batter, the fluffier the pancakes.
3. Low and slow cooking: Medium-low heat prevents burning and allows the pancakes to cook evenly inside.
4. Experiment with flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a teaspoon of lemon zest for a subtle twist.
