Gordon Ramsay Pancakes Recipe Ingredients

• 160g all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 240ml milk
• 1 large egg
• 56g melted butter (cooled)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Extra butter, for the pan

How To Make Gordon Ramsay Pancakes

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk or spatula just until the mixture is combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are a good thing. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and add a small knob of butter. Once melted, pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
5. Flip and Finish: Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and stay open. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown.
6. Serve: Serve the pancakes hot, stacked high with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get the fluffiest pancakes? The secret is to not overmix the batter. Lumps are your friend! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which can make the pancakes tough instead of fluffy. Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes also allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender pancake.
• How do I cook evenly sized pancakes? Use a ¼ cup measuring cup or a large ice cream scoop to portion the batter. This ensures all your pancakes are a consistent size and will cook in the same amount of time.
• How do I keep the pancakes warm while I cook the whole batch? Preheat your oven to its lowest setting, around 200°F (90°C). As you finish each pancake, place it on a baking sheet in the warm oven to keep it hot while you cook the rest.
• How do I prevent the butter from burning in the pan? It’s important to wipe the pan clean with a paper towel between each batch of pancakes. This removes any browned butter solids that could burn and give your subsequent pancakes a bitter taste.

How To Store Pancakes

Store: Let leftover pancakes cool completely, then stack them with a piece of parchment paper between each one. Store them in an airtight container or a zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: For the best results, you can reheat the pancakes in a toaster, a toaster oven, or for a few seconds in a hot, dry skillet. You can also microwave them, but they will be softer.
