Ingredients

Main Ingredients

200 g butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
50 ml rum or cognac
500 g flour (as needed)
5 g baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
A pinch of salt

Spices

Preparation Time

Total Time: 120 minutes
Includes preparation and cooking time.

Step-by-Step Instruction

Cream the room-temperature butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Incorporate your choice of spices, such as vanilla or lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat until the sugar fully dissolves.
Stir in the rum or cognac and mix thoroughly.
Gradually add a portion of flour and mix. Then, sprinkle the baking soda and drizzle with vinegar. Wait for the reaction to occur, then mix well.
Continue mixing in the remaining flour. Begin kneading with a spoon and finish with your hands.
Attention: Do not knead the dough too stiffly. It should be just firm enough not to stick to your hands, leaving the bowl clean.
Rest the dough for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and flour to swell.
Preheat the pan over medium heat.
Cook the pancakes over low heat, turning occasionally.
Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly.
Carefully trim any excess edges and arrange them in a dish.
Enjoy your delicious creation!

Tips

Flour Control: Add flour gradually to maintain dough consistency.
Kneading: The more you knead, the better the dough.
Butter: Ensure it doesn't leak during cooking by balancing dough texture.
Cooling: Let the pancakes cool before trimming edges for a clean finish.
