![]() ![]() Flour: The flour will give structure to your pancakes.To make homemade pancakes you will need just a few basic ingredients: Let’s talk about the different ingredients used and one of the most crucial points when making pancakes: mixing the batter. Eggs: The eggs, along with the flour, will contribute to the structure of the pancakes.Most recipes call for either milk or buttermilk which will impart flavor, richness and a nice golden color to the pancakes. It is first melted and left to cool down before adding it to the batter.įat: Butter is generally used, for richness, tenderness and flavor.The fat from the egg yolks adds richness and flavor to the pancakes. Baking powder is most often used, although you might also see baking soda in recipes.Ĭhemical leavener: For the light and fluffy texture, you will need chemical leaveners.Adding hot butter to the batter could cook the eggs prematurely. Especially those that call for buttermilk. We will discuss the difference between the two in the chemical leaveners section.Sugar: The sugar will add sweetness and color to the pancakes.It will also lead to moist and tender pancakes. You could add vanilla extract, fruit zests such as lemon or orange zest, cinnamon etc. Pancakes are mixed using the muffin method, or the two bowl method. You first need to sift all the dry ingredients together (flour, salt, sugar, baking powder/soda) so that the leavener is evenly distributed.As the name implies, you’ll be using two bowls: one for the dry ingredients, and one for the wet ingredients. And finally, you’ll add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until there are no dry streaks of flour.In the second bowl, you’ll combine all the wet ingredients (milk/buttermilk, eggs, melted butter).Sifting will also aerate the flour, leading to fluffier pancakes. If it’s completely smooth, you have overmixed it and you’ll end up with dense pancakes. ![]() Pancake batter should be lumpy and thick, yet pourable (not runny). A tall and fluffy pancake is the result of trapped gas bubbles that expand when heated. The bubbles formed won’t be able to escape easily if the batter is thick. Thick batter could be obtained by reducing the liquids, or increasing the flour amount. If you have " Brighten Live View" enabled, you need to correctly adjust the camera's shutter speed.To get a thick batter, without compromising the texture, the key lies in undermixing it. If the live view image is dark or black, you should adjust your camera settings.You should contact camera manufacture's tech support to fix this issue. If the utility is unable to connect or display Live View, you might have an issue with your camera, USB cable, or USB port. If you still do not see Live View, try using the EOS Utility for Canon or Camera Control Pro for Nikon cameras to verify Live View is working with your camera.Disable the option in the EOS Utility to open itself when a camera is connected. If you have a camera utility installed like the EOS Utility, check that it is not running before starting Sparkbooth.Check that live view is enabled on the camera itself using the setting menu on the camera.Open Sparkbooth DSLR camera settings by pressing ctrl-3.Make sure the camera is able to connect to the computer.
