Craving fluffy pancakes on a weekend morning but dreading the flipping and mess? Say hello to your new breakfast hero: the air fryer! This viral hack has taken the internet by storm, and for good reason. It allows you to whip up delicious, golden-brown pancakes with minimal effort and maximum deliciousness.
The beauty of this method lies in its simplicity. You only need four basic ingredients: flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of oil or butter for greasing. Combine them in a bowl to create your batter, perfect for both classic American-style pancakes and delicate European crepes.
Next, prepare your air fryer. Line the basket with baking parchment for easy cleanup, and lightly grease it with oil or butter. To create perfectly round pancakes, use a small cake tin to pour your batter into. For a more rustic look, simply pour the batter directly onto the parchment. Pro tip: Layer another piece of parchment on top and pour more batter for multi-layered pancake perfection.
Now, preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and let the magic happen. Place the basket in the air fryer and cook your pancakes for six to eight minutes. The air fryer does all the work, ensuring even cooking without the need for flipping.
Once your pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, the real fun begins! Get creative with toppings – whether you prefer classic lemon and sugar, a decadent chocolate drizzle, or a mountain of fresh berries, the possibilities are endless.
So ditch the stovetop and embrace the air fryer revolution for your weekend breakfast. This easy, hassle-free method will have you enjoying fluffy pancakes in no time, leaving you with more time to focus on the deliciousness.
