Japanese Pancakes for Two

What Started it all:
flour, pancake mix, sugar
Japanese pancakes, known for their fluffy texture and delightful sweetness, are a fun twist on traditional pancakes. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat, these pancakes are easy to make and will impress anyone with their airy and light quality.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup water (or milk for a richer taste)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruits
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, pancake mix, and sugar. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the water (or milk) to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes while you heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the skillet with vegetable oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and fluffy.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.
Enjoy your delightful Japanese pancakes! They are a perfect way to start your day or to indulge in a sweet moment. Happy cooking!
