Hotcakes (American pancakes)
6 servings
10 minutes
Hotcakes are tender and fluffy American pancakes that have become a symbol of cozy breakfasts. Their history dates back to the 19th century when Americans began preparing simple yet hearty flour dishes for breakfast. The main feature of hotcakes is their porous structure; thanks to the leavening agent, the batter becomes airy and appetizing. They have a soft, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of vanilla. These pancakes pair perfectly with honey, maple syrup, fresh berries, or butter. Hotcakes cook quickly—in just a couple of minutes on the skillet—making them an excellent choice for morning meals. They are loved for their simplicity in preparation and versatility—they are suitable for both everyday breakfasts and cozy family weekends.
