How To Make the Fluffiest and Crispiest Pancakes

Chef Jake Leiber reveals the secret to the indulgent pancakes at his Canadian-inspired restaurant, Chez Ma Tante, located in Greenpoint, NYC: lots of clarified butter. Chef Jake demonstrates how to create clarified butter at home, shares how Chez Ma Tante got into the pancake game, and explains his restaurant’s fluffy pancake recipe-which includes egg yolks and lemon zest-and why toppings aren’t always necessary.

*What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

This is how my mom makes pancakes. I never used to see how she's make them for breakfast when I was a kid because they'd be plated by the time I got downstairs. It took me a long time to get the same result as an adult. Anytime I'd ask her what I could be doing wrong she'd just say use more butter without further details.

Made me hungry for pancakes. I love the crispy edges too. My preference is for supper thin pancakes....almost like crepes. Clarified butter a great tip. And the lemon zest would add some brightness I think would be really good.

[@katiatannus3146]

I love my pancakes to be fluffy

[@paydro162]

Totally agree on the super thin makes the pancakes much more enjoyable and doesn’t feel too heavy to eat ✅

[@MrJvilla74]

This recipe is fire. One of my favorite pancake recipes. Fluffy, crispy and salty, sweet. I think 3 T of salt was a little too much. I would go 2 T. I stopped searching for the perfect recipe once I ran into this one. Try it, you'll like it.

As someone who's not a fan of pancake toppings the line about making a simple thing great is spot on. I feel like toppings are better for sub-par pancakes. If I'm gonna have pancakes I want GOOD pancakes

[@geeerwin]

THESE ARE MY PANCAKES! Y'all are babies if you hate crisp outside rings on a pancake. This is the way my mom always made them and it's awesome. Personally I like it crisp on the outside and a little, just a little undercooked on the inside. That's heaven right there.

[@whadthefriggincrud]

For years, I have been ridiculed at the breakfast table for loving crispy pancakes. This video is vindication...and it tastes oh so good lol

[@tspfull]

Curiosity got to me. I made a quarter recipe. First I clarified butter which is a pain but cheaper than buying ghee. The only change I made was to reduce the salt. When I measured out the salt it was just too much and I’m glad I did. This must be a typo. The amount of baking powder makes the batter instantly billowy and full of gas. The first one cooked up wonderfully with great crispy edges. It’s surprising light and airy considering all the fat (I did not top it with more butter). As I kept cooking the pancakes got less and less airy but still a great contrast between the very crispy edges and the super light interiors. Halfway through I ran out of butter and I cooked the next in olive oil. Not nearly as good. The last bunch I cooked without oil in a nonstick pan (my kids don’t like the “hard edges”) and they were not good at all. They tasted very eggy and had a very displeasing flabbiness. It made 10 small-medium pancake so the full recipe will feed a small army and require a crap load of butter to fry up. I did not taste any lemon and wonder if it’s really necessary. This recipe was clearly designed to be fried up and only fried in butter and for that reason I probably will leave this low on my pancake list. And since the batter deflates quickly I don’t think cooking them one at a time is a good idea, especially if doing the full recipe. It is very delicious and I would gladly eat these pancakes if someone made them for me.

I have a great simple recipe that delivers great pancakes all the time, but am not a kitchen cook so any tips are appreciated. One thing said I'd love to understand more is if it's the over mixing or mixing too hard that nullifies the effect of the baking powder. Jake said mixing too hard, but I've always been told it's over mixing though his mixture was smoother then I would have expected.
