Pancake Batter
- 200 g cake flour / low-protein flour
- 10 g baking powder
- 50 g fine granulated sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 165 g milk
- 10 g butter melted and cooled
- 10 g lemon juice
Step 1: Melt the Butter
Microwave method: Place 10g butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on medium-low for 20–30 seconds. Stir until fully melted and cool to room temperature.
Double boiler method: Place butter in a small heatproof bowl over simmering water. Heat for 30 seconds–1 minute, stir until melted, and cool.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 200g cake flour, 50g sugar, and 10g baking powder. Whisk thoroughly to remove lumps.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Add 2 eggs directly into the dry ingredients.
Pour in 165g milk, cooled melted butter, and 10g lemon juice.
Whisk until fully combined, with no visible separation.
Step 4: Strain the Batter
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Preheat a non-stick pan over low heat until warm to the touch.
Pour about 100g of batter per pancake. Let it naturally form a round shape.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges slightly set (2–3 minutes), then gently flip.
Cook the other side 1–2 minutes until golden and springy when pressed lightly.
