# Required Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
125 grams all-purpose flour
02 -
25 grams granulated sugar
03 -
5 grams baking powder
04 -
2.5 grams baking soda
05 -
1.25 grams salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
240 milliliters buttermilk
07 -
1 large egg
08 -
30 grams melted unsalted butter
→ Optional Additions
09 -
90 grams chocolate chips or fresh berries
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
03 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving some lumps for a tender texture. Avoid overmixing.
04 -
Preheat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 175°C. Test readiness by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise.
05 -
Using a piping bag or small scoop, carefully drop batter portions into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and puffed, floating to the surface.
06 -
Remove poppers with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack lined with paper towels to drain and maintain crispness.
07 -
Serve the pancake poppers immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by maple syrup.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes before frying for a lighter texture.
02 -
Maintain oil temperature at 175°C to ensure even cooking without greasiness.
03 -
Use a cooling rack after frying to prevent sogginess.
