🥞 1. Classic Pancakes Fried in a Pan
These are your usual pancakes cooked on a hot, lightly oiled griddle or frying pan — technically “fried” pancakes.
Basic Recipe:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tbsp sugar
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
-
1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
-
1 egg
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
Butter or oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine.
-
Heat pan with a bit of butter/oil over medium heat.
-
Pour batter and cook until bubbles form; flip and cook until golden brown.
🍳 2. Deep-Fried Pancakes
This could refer to filled pancakes (like rolled crepes) that are battered and deep-fried — crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Examples:
-
Deep-fried stuffed crepes (filled with jam, Nutella, or meat/cheese)
-
Pancake balls (like Danish aebleskiver or Japanese takoyaki-style sweet pancakes)
🫓 3. Savory Fried Pancakes (like Scallion Pancakes or Potato Pancakes)
These are pan-fried and often crispier, and may include ingredients like:
-
Shredded potatoes (like latkes)
-
Scallions and flour-based dough (Chinese scallion pancakes)
-
Cabbage and egg (Japanese okonomiyaki)
