Tips to make your pancakes like a chef

For your pancake session to be a total success, here are some practical tips:

1. Prepare the batter in advance : "You can prepare the batter the night before and keep it in the refrigerator. This will save you time in the morning.

2. Use a non-stick pan : This will prevent your pancakes from sticking and make their cooking more even.

3. Keep them warm : Place your cooked pancakes in a low-temperature preheated oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Also, if you want perfectly round pancakes, pour the batter into an empty, clean sauce bottle. This will allow you to easily control the quantity and shape of each pancake in the pan. For your little ones' greatest delight, you can also use cookie cutters to make heart-shaped pancakes ❤️or in animal shapes!

Why are pancakes perfect for strengthening family bonds?

Pancakes are not only delicious, they also symbolize sharing and togetherness. By involving your children in their preparation, you give them the opportunity to learn while having fun. The little ones can mix the batter or choose their favorite toppings, while the older ones can try cooking (under your supervision). 

Special occasions to enjoy pancakes

If pancakes are perfect for a Sunday morning brunch, they can also be included in other special moments. Indeed, you can try them for a festive snack where everyone can customize their pancakes with their favorite toppings (fruits, jams, whipped cream).

Why not organize a "reverse dinner" on the weekend where pancakes become the main course ❓A savory version with cheese or smoked salmon can pleasantly surprise your loved ones!

You can also replace the traditional birthday cake with a stack of mini-pancakes decorated with candles.
