While everyone loves to eat a pancake on Pancake Tuesday, some people might be put off the day due to the mess involved in frying 10 individual pancakes on a pan.
Looking for a more mess-free way? Well, one TikTok account has you covered with a genius hack that shows you how to cook multiple pancakes in one go using an air fryer, with no cleanup involved.
To help with a mess-free pancake, we put together an ultimate pancake batter recipe and some simple steps on how to cook them in an air fryer, here is everything you need to know.
Traditional pancake recipe
Below is a standard recipe for pancakes to make approximately eight in a frying pan, meaning you could probably get up to 14 pancakes from this recipe below, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- 100 grams of plain flour
- Two eggs
- 250 ml of milk
- One tbsp of sunflower oil or two tbsp melted butter
- Optional: a pinch of salt for savoury pancakes, or a pinch of caster sugar for sweet pancakes
- Topping of your choice
How to make them in an air fryer
It is quite simple according to the Currys TikTok account, which posted a video explaining how to get the perfect air-fried pancake.
Just get some layers of baking parchment and pour a small amount of batter onto it.
Then repeat until you have a stack of parchment paper and pancake batter in the drawer of the air fryer. Pop it on for a few minutes (Currys doesn’t have a set time, but we recommend checking every minute or so until the top pancake is fluffy).
Then take them out and finish with a topping of your choice.
