To make pancakes in an air fryer - look no further than this Curry's TikTok video. It shows how fuss-free and fast the process is. Giving you fluffy American pancakes in under 10 minutes.
"Why I didn't think of it before," wrote one Tiktok user, adding: "I have to try it." Others simply hailed the hack as "genius".
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter (14g)
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 250ml milk
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- Greaseproof paper
Method
Begin by lining the drawer of your airfryer with some baking or greaseproof paper, then whisk together all the ingredients (below) in a bowl to create your pancake mix. Drop a knob of butter into the airfryer, close the drawer and let that melt for 10-20 seconds, setting the temperature to around 165 degrees celsius.
Then - using a ladel or large spoon - put a reasonable-sized dollop of the batter in the centre of your air fryer, close your drawer and allow to cook for three minutes.
As you would when cooking them in the frying pan, we'd turn them over after 3 minutes, and then close the drawer for a further 3-4 minutes - to ensure they're cooked and golden on either side.
When satisfied, simply remove the pancakes from your air fryer and serve on a plate with your choice of toppings.
Equipment
Most air fryer will give you the same great pancake results, especially when choosing from our best air fryers collection, however Curry's air fryer of choice is this Tefal 3-in-1 number which currently has a £40 saving online.
