OATS MASALA PANCAKES

Pancakes are a type of flatbread that is made by pouring a runny batter onto a hot surface that has been greased. The batter is cooked until it turns brown on one side, then flipped over to cook the other. Pancakes can be served in various ways, and while many people associate them with a thick and sweet type of flatbread, many different styles, shapes, and sizes of pancakes are available.

There are two types of pancakes: quick loaves made with baking soda that fluff up as they cook and slow-fermented ones that have a more complex flavor. Injera, an Ethiopian flatbread, is an example of the latter. It forms distinctive bubbly holes when it ferments, resulting in a spongy texture when cooked.

Flatbreads have been around for a long time, and pancakes are one of the oldest types. They are simple to make and can come in many different variations. Different cultures may use unique regional grains such as buckwheat, cornmeal, or teff, while others may use plain flour or a mixture of grains. Some areas of the United States are particularly fond of multi-grain pancakes.

Pancakes are often served with toppings, especially when eaten for breakfast. Popular options include fresh fruit, syrup, confectioner's sugar, lemon juice, and chocolate syrup. Compotes and jams are also great accompaniments. In some regions, pancakes are enjoyed with savory foods like scrambled eggs or chutney.

Making pancakes can be challenging. The batter must be thin enough to spread quickly but not too light to run off and burn. The heat must be just right to brown the pancakes without leaving them raw in the center. A good amount of grease prevents sticking but avoids making the pancakes too oily. There are different methods for flipping; some prefer the pan-jerking technique, while others use a spatula.

5 Tips For The Perfect Fluffy Pancakes

The technique is crucial in achieving the perfect fluffy pancake texture. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

• Grind the oats into fine flour for the best pancake texture. The finer the flour, the finer the crumb of the pancake.
• To avoid over-mixing the batter, whisk until combined, then refrain from further mixing.
• Before cooking, it's best to let the batter rest for 10 minutes. The oats in the batter will cause it to thicken, resulting in less spreading and thicker cakes. Use a spoon to form a circle quickly, as the batter won't spread much on its own.
• For best results, cook on low to medium heat using the "low and slow" method. It will allow the food to rise and cook evenly without becoming mushy in the middle. 
• Using coconut oil or spraying the pan is best to prevent sticking and create a beautiful brown color.
