Ingredients
  

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

For Serving

  • Softened butter
  • Honey

Instructions
 

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

  • Use a fine sieve to filter the batter once, removing lumps and air bubbles. This ensures ultra-smooth, tender pancakes.

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.

Step 6: Serve

  • Stack pancakes on a plate.
  • Add a small piece of butter on top to melt from residual heat and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
