Tips for perfect pancakes with the Thermomix

Preparing the pancake batter

To make perfect pancakes with the Thermomix, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients: flour, eggs, milk, sugar, a pinch of salt and a little melted butter. For best results, we recommend using quality ingredients.

The first step is to sift the flour to avoid lumps. Next, insert the whisk into the Thermomix bowl and add 250 grams of flour.

Then add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium speed for a few seconds to blend the dry ingredients.

Now add 500 ml of milk to the bowl. Start the machine on speed 4 for 20 seconds to mix everything together.

Then add 3 eggs, one at a time, at 10-second intervals, still on speed 4. This allows the eggs to incorporate well without creating lumps.

Finally, add 30 grams of melted butter. Mix again at speed 4 for 20 seconds, until the dough is smooth and homogeneous.

Let the pancake batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the dough to hydrate and become easier to work with.

After the resting time, heat a non-stick frying pan and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the hot pan and spread evenly, tilting the pan in all directions.

Cook the crêpe until the edges start to pull away from the pan, about 1-2 minutes. Turn over with a spatula and cook for a further 1 minute.

Set the cooked crêpes aside on a plate and keep them warm, covering them with a clean cloth. Repeat until the batter is used up.

Enjoy your homemade crêpes with your favorite toppings like sugar, melted chocolate, jam or even fresh fruit. Enjoy your meal!

Weigh ingredients

To make perfect crêpes with the Thermomix, it’s essential to weigh all the ingredients precisely. Here’s how to achieve a smooth, homogenous batter.

Start by preparing all the necessary ingredients:

• 250 g flour
• 500 ml milk
• 3 eggs
• 50 g melted butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• A few drops of vanilla extract (optional)

Next, place your Thermomix bowl on its base and replace the lid without the measuring cup. Press the scale to activate the weighing function.

Pour the flour directly into the bowl, then add the eggs and a pinch of salt. Don’t forget to weigh each ingredient to ensure a perfect dough.

Add the sugar and vanilla extract if desired. Pour in the milk gradually while blending at speed 4 for 20 seconds, then increase speed to 6 for a further 10 seconds. This will prevent lumps.

For an extra touch of deliciousness, you can add the melted butter last. Blend again for 10 seconds at speed 4 to blend the dough.

Your pancake batter is now ready to cook. Use a hot, lightly oiled frying pan. Pour in a small ladleful of batter and cook the pancakes for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Serve your crêpes slightly warm with the toppings of your choice: sugar, jam, nutella, or even cheese for a savoury version.

Mix the dough

To make perfect pancakes with the Thermomix, it’s essential to follow a few simple steps and know a few tricks.

Start by assembling all the necessary ingredients: flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar and a pinch of salt. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature, for better homogeneity.

Pour 500 ml milk into the Thermomix bowl, add 250 g flour, 2 eggs, 50 g melted butter, 30 g sugar and a pinch of salt. Blend at speed 6 for 20 seconds. Check the consistency of the dough and, if necessary, blend again for a few seconds to obtain a smooth, lump-free paste.

The secret of successful pancakes lies in the mixing of the batter. Use the Thermomix Turbo mode for 5 seconds to obtain a perfect mix. Leave the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting time will allow the flour to soak up the liquids, guaranteeing fluffier, easier-to-cook pancakes.

While the batter is resting, prepare your utensils: a non-stick frying pan, a ladle and a spatula for flipping the crepes. Heat the pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil before pouring in a ladleful of batter.

Cook each pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Repeat until the batter is used up.

With these tips, you’ll get thin, fluffy pancakes that are simply delicious.

Let the dough rest

To make perfect crêpes with the Thermomix, it’s essential to prepare the batter properly. Start by gathering the necessary ingredients: 250g flour, 500g milk, 3 eggs, 30g sugar, 50g melted butter and a pinch of salt.

Place all ingredients in the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds at speed 6. Check that the dough is smooth; if not, extend the mixing time by a few seconds.

A crucial point for successful pancakes is to let the batter rest. Transfer your pancake batter to a container and cover with cling film. Leave to rest in the fridge for at least an hour. This resting time allows the flour to absorb the liquid, making the pancakes lighter and fluffier.

While the batter is resting, prepare your pancake pan by heating it over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

Once the dough has rested sufficiently, mix lightly before baking. Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan, making circular movements to distribute the batter evenly. Cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

To keep your crêpes warm until serving time, stack them on a plate and cover with a clean tea towel.

Cooking crêpes with the Thermomix

If you want to make perfect crêpes with the Thermomix, start by preparing a smooth, homogenous batter. To do this, pour 250 grams of flour into the Thermomix bowl, add 500 milliliters of milk, 3 eggs, 50 grams of melted butter, a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Blend at speed 6 for 30 seconds. Leave the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes to obtain lighter, fluffier pancakes.

Pancakes should be cooked over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning the edges. Use a light non-stick frying pan to make flipping the crepes easier. Before each pancake, lightly grease the pan with a little butter or oil on absorbent paper to prevent sticking.

For even pancakes, pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the edges lift and turn golden-brown. Use a thin spatula to gently flip the crepe.

• Make sure the dough rests long enough for the gluten to relax, making it easier to handle.
• Use room-temperature milk to avoid lumps in the dough.
• Check the pan temperature regularly to prevent pancakes from cooking too quickly.
• For extra flavor, add vanilla extract or rum to your dough.

Once the crêpes are ready, stack them on a plate, covering them with a clean cloth to keep them warm. Serve your crêpes with a variety of toppings: sugar, jam, spread, fresh fruit or maple syrup.

With these tips, your crêpes will be a perfect success, ready to be enjoyed on any occasion. Enjoy your meal!

Heat the pan

To make perfect crêpes with the Thermomix, it’s essential to use the right proportions of ingredients and follow a few precise steps. Here’s how to do it:

Start by gathering the following ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 sachet vanilla sugar (optional)

Add all ingredients to the Thermomix bowl. Mix on speed 6 for 30 seconds. Make sure the dough is smooth and lump-free.

Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This allows the flour to absorb the liquids, making the pancakes softer and tastier.

For perfect pancake cooking, use a hot non-stick frying pan. Lightly grease the pan with a little butter or oil.

Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the frying pan and spread in a circular motion with the pan handle. Cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Stack the cooked crêpes on a plate and keep warm under a clean tea towel. Serve with your favorite topping, whether sugar, jam, Nutella or even fresh fruit.

Pour and roll out the dough

To make perfect pancakes with the Thermomix, it’s essential to master a few tricks and techniques. This time-saving device guarantees a homogeneous, lump-free batter.

Start by preparing your pancake batter in the Thermomix bowl. Add the basic ingredients: flour, milk, eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix for 30 seconds at speed 6. Leave the batter to rest for an hour in the fridge for best results.

To cook, use a hot, lightly oiled frying pan. Pour in a small amount of batter, distributing it evenly. Cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden-brown.

For thin, even pancakes, the trick is to pour the batter quickly into the center of the pan, tilting it gently to spread it out. Use a suitable ladle to pour the right amount of batter each time.

• Use a ladle to measure out the dough
• Pour the batter into the center of the pan
• Tilt the pan to distribute the batter evenly

Let the crepes cook until the edges begin to pull away, then turn them over with a spatula. The key to successful crepes with the Thermomix lies in the evenness and even distribution of the batter.

These simple steps will enable you to prepare light and tasty pancakes, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!

Flipping the crepe

The Thermomix is a great tool for making homemade pancakes quickly and easily. Here are a few tips for perfect pancakes every time.

To make the pancake batter, start by mixing the ingredients in the Thermomix bowl. Mix 250 g flour, 500 ml milk, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons sugar and 50 g melted butter. Mix on speed 6 for 1 minute. Leave the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes for best results.

With the Thermomix, the consistency of the dough is ideal: neither too thick, nor too runny. If you find that it’s too thick after resting, add a little milk and mix again for a few seconds.

Heat your crepe maker or frying pan over medium heat and brush lightly with butter or oil. Once hot, pour in a ladleful of batter, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly.

Leave to cook until the edges of the pancake begin to pull away and small bubbles appear on the surface. Use a thin spatula to gently lift the edges.

Flipping the crepe can be tricky. To make this step easier, wait until the crepe is golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Gently slide the spatula under the crepe and flip it over in one quick motion. Cook for a further minute on the other side.

• For sweet crepes, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or orange liqueur to the batter.
• For savoury crêpes, reduce the amount of sugar and add herbs or spices to suit your taste.

Serve the crêpes immediately with the toppings of your choice: sugar, jam, honey, maple syrup or gourmet ingredients such as Nutella, fresh fruit or Chantilly cream.

With these tips, your Thermomix pancakes will always be a hit with your family and guests alike.
