These pancakes come out thick and soft, with an airy crumb and an evenly golden face. The batter goes straight into the pan with no resting time. The hardest part is the heat, because the surface browns easily before the center is cooked through.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly before the eggs and milk go in is what gives an even flavor and an even rise. Medium low heat and a preheated pan are the two conditions; batter poured into a cold pan sticks to the bottom.
This batch weighs about 1kg, at roughly 258 calories per 100g.
Method
Put 420g all purpose flour, 25g baking powder, 81g kOBE Monk Fruit Blend and 2g salt in a bowl, mix thoroughly and sift for a fine texture.
Crack 3 chicken eggs into a bowl, add 80ml cooking oil and whisk until even. Pour in 240ml unsweetened oat milk and whisk until the mixture is light, then add the dry ingredients a little at a time, whisking as they go in, until the batter is smooth.
Set a nonstick pan over low heat to warm, place a ring mold in the pan and pour the batter slowly into the mold.
Raise the heat to medium, lift off the mold, and nudge the pancake with a spoon; once the surface is set, flip it and cook the other side until evenly golden.
Lift the pancakes onto a plate, stack 2 or 3 together, and serve with fresh fruit or a sauce of your choice.
Tips
Use flour that is well within date and still carries the clean smell of wheat.
Without a ring mold, ladle the batter straight into the pan and keep the heat low so the pancake cooks through without scorching.
kOBE Monk Fruit Blend dissolves slowly, so resting the batter 5 minutes and whisking again clears any graininess.
The surface colors more slowly here, so raising the heat to force it is a mistake: hold at medium and give it a little longer.
A pancake is ready to turn when bubbles open on the surface and the edges look dry, and flipping at that point keeps it whole.
Leftovers keep in the fridge wrapped tightly in plastic or sealed in a glass container.
