Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Sugar
1 ¼ cups Heavy Cream
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk all the ingredients together.
Heat a large pan over medium heat, spray with cooking spray.
Scoop ¼ cup of batter on the pan for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until tiny bubbles appear on the sides of the pancakes.
Flip the pancakes over; cook for another 2 minutes.
Serve warm with your favourite toppings.

Notes

Keep the baking temperature a bit lower than you usually would for regular pancakes to ensure that it cooks properly.
Heavy cream makes the batter thicker than usual. Thus, you will have to manually spread the batter out using the back of the spoon.
You can add the eggs whole, but separate them if you want thicker pancakes. Whip the egg whites until you see bubbles, and then add them into the batter.
Add in the wet ingredients and whisk them together before adding the dry ingredients.
You want to ensure that you don’t overmix the batter.
If the pancakes have gone cold, I would recommend reheating them before serving.

Recipe Variations

The best part about pancakes is their customizability. The same is the case with sweet cream pancakes.
Add lemon zest to the batter to make lemon pancakes.
Adding berries to the batter is an option to satisfy the fruit lover in the gang.
You can always add in chocolate chips because, let’s be honest: chocolates can never be a bad addition.
For a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free flour mixture instead of all-purpose flour.
For the fitness lover in you, swap out the heavy cream for Greek yogurt to boost the protein content. It does alter the taste and texture a bit, but it is good enough.
