This Friday, February 2, 2024, Candlemas is celebrated. Do you have very little time to organize a crepe party? No problem, this restless pancake batter recipe will only take 10 minutes of your time.
For foodies, young and old, this is undoubtedly one of the dates on the calendar to tick off. But how to prepare pancakes in a hurry when the Candlemas, a traditional pancake festival, is being held this Friday, February 2? THE Women’s Journal offers a very simple recipe that can be made in just 10 minutes and does not require any resting of the pancake batter. Its secret lies in the quantity of eggs! So if you want to celebrate Candlemas properly but you’re short on time, here is THE quick and easy pancake recipe which has received many positive reviews (the ingredients are for 4 people):
- Mix 250 grams of flour in a salad bowl with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Make a well in the middle and pour 4 eggs into it.
- Mix gently until the mixture becomes thick.
- Add half a liter of cold milk little by little then mix until the dough is fluid.
- Add 50 grams of cooled melted butter then mix everything.
- Cook a small ladleful of the pancake batter obtained in a hot pan (lightly oiled if not non-stick)
- Flip the pancake when it browns and cook for a minute.
- Repeat until the dough is used up.
Will you be able to flip your pancake with a single flick of your wrist? For some, this gesture can predict the good health of their finances for the year to come. For this, this Candlemas tradition requires that you put a coin in your pocket, and then turn the pancake over, without touching it. If the pancake falls flat, without bending in the pan, you can expect a “fat” year. If this is not the case, you can always at least console yourself by eating your pancake!
