If you follow our indications to the letter, your pancake should not break and you can even expect a “oily” year as the tradition of Candlemas wants.
The Candlemas arrives this Sunday 2 February with its good scents flavored with chocolate, caramel, orange blossom … will be able to return your pancake with a single wrist gesture as required by tradition ? This gesture would predict the good health of finance for the coming year, and tradition even wants to put a coin in its pocket, and then return the pancake, without touching it! If the pancake falls flat, without folding in the pan, you can expect a “oily” year. We give you the unstoppable technique to return a pancake in a jiffy.
After preparing your pancake dough and letting it stand, you will take care to use a non -stick pancake pan, well greased with butter or neutral oil, either from peanuts, rapeseed, sunflowers, seeds grapes, corn or soy germs (olive or coconut oils are to be banished). When the pan is very hot (you can do the test of the drop of water to see if it wriggles), you will pour a small ladle of dough that you will spread more finely on the edges than in the center, spinning the pan Using the handle.
To make it fly well, take off there first slightly with a spatula or shake the pan briefly to make sure that the pancake comes off. Tilt your stove while holding it by the handle so that the edge of the pancake protrudes very slightly from the pan. Then, a dry and firm movement of the wrist from the bottom up should give the expected result: an elegant fallout on the opposite side. To reproduce the operation, do not forget to spread oil on the pan between each 2-3 pancakes using a paper towel.
And now, you now have all the keys in hand to blow up your pancake like a pro. And if you want to play the superstition of the candlestick thoroughly, launch your first pancake over a wardrobe: it must elegantly fall on the top. If you let it rest in this place all years (rest assured, the pancake will dry and turn into a cardboard), it would have supposedly the gift of attracting luck all year round. A good hearing, or not!
