Why Make This Recipe
Making Ultra Light Pancakes at home is a great choice because they are not only easy to prepare but also healthier than traditional pancakes. They are lighter, thanks to the addition of cornstarch and quark (or yogurt), which gives them a lovely texture. You can customize them with your favorite toppings, making them a fantastic option for the whole family.
How to Make Ultra Light Pancakes
Ingredients
- Flour
- Cornstarch
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Milk
- Egg
- Quark (or yogurt)
- Oil
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.

- Heat a lightly oiled skillet and drop a small ladle of batter onto the pan. Cook for about 1 minute on the first side until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.
- Test the first pancake; if the batter is too thick, add a bit of milk, or if too thin, add a bit of flour.
- Serve hot with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruits.

How to Store Ultra Light Pancakes
If you have leftover pancakes, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just place a piece of parchment paper between each pancake to keep them separate. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Tips to Make Ultra Light Pancakes
- Make sure to not overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more milk or flour as needed.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to avoid sticking, and keep the heat moderate to ensure even cooking.
Variation
You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas to the batter for a twist. If you prefer a savory option, try adding cheese and herbs to create a delicious brunch treat.
