I am not going to lie. I love recipes that take less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Especially when it is in the morning. While I love baking, weekend mornings are for relaxing. Only 30 minutes and you can go right back to your relaxing. The best part is that it uses a half sheet pan so you will have plenty for those of you with large households.Â
In this recipe
What makes this recipe cook so quickly is how hot the oven is and the use of ta sheet pan. By spreading the batter across breadth of the sheet pan it becomes thinner allowing it is cook faster. This is why this recipe works as well as it does.Â
In order to keep the pancake as light and fluffy as possible do not beat the batter very much. You want to gently stir or fold the ingredients into each other. Beating too much does a couple of things. Firstly, it introduces a lot of air that will leave the batter once cooked. Secondly, it will develop gluten which will make the pancake chewy.Â
It is also important to make sure that the sheet pan is greased well. This can be done with butter or a cooking spray. Due to the lightness of this pancake if it does stick it might tear easily without it. To get a darker top on the pancake brush the top with butter and broil it for a couple of minutes.Â
