For many of us, Pancake Day is less about eating pancakes and more about the sheer peril of flipping one without it ending up on the floor. Whether you’re wielding a non-stick pan or bravely tackling a cast iron skillet, the flip can feel like a test of nerve. But, if the idea of launching batter into the air fills you with dread, I have some very good news: your air fryer might just be the hero you didn’t know you needed.
By now, most of us know the air fryer for its energy efficiency and its ability to create crispy, delicious results with little to no oil. And we lean into the kitchen appliance more and more, we’re getting increasingly creative with how we use it – including an entire Sunday roast in an air fryer. The best air fryer cookbooks are a great place to start if you’re looking for inspiration. What you might not realise, however, is that your air fryer can also produce delicious pancakes — from thick, fluffy American-style stacks to delicate, buttery crepes.
