Instructions
Creating these pancakes is as simple as mixing a few ingredients and cooking them to perfection. Follow these steps to bring Katy’s Pancakes to life:
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and flour. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
-
Prepare the Skillet: Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Preheat the skillet over medium-low heat; it’s essential not to make it too hot, as this can cause the pancakes to brown too quickly.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Pour the egg mixture into the preheated skillet, allowing it to spread evenly. Cook until the edges begin to set, lifting them gently with a spatula to let any uncooked egg mixture flow underneath.
-
Flip the Pancake: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds or until fully set.
-
Plate and Garnish: Once cooked, slide the pancake out onto a plate. Spread your favorite jelly down the center—this step can be adjusted based on personal preference, especially if you’re catering to kids who might not be keen on jelly.
-
Add a Sweet Touch: Roll up the pancake and sprinkle it generously with powdered sugar for a delightful finish.
-
Enjoy! Serve immediately and relish this quick and satisfying breakfast.
