Homemade Pancake Recipe

I'm posting this recipe because it's the one I use when I make my Jalapeno Popper batter or my Chile Relleno batter. It's a terrific, easy batter that fries up fluffy.

3 large eggs
1 cup flour
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Pinch salt

First, separate the eggs, putting the whites in 1 bowl and the egg yolks into another. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks and mix to a smooth thick batter. I use a blender or food processor with a whisk attachment. Whisk the whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks. Fold into the batter.

For pancakes, heat a non-stick pan on a medium heat. Put a tab of butter in the heated pan. Pour some of your batter into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to look golden and firm. At this point, sprinkle your chosen flavoring onto the uncooked side before loosening with a spatula and flipping the pancake over. Continue frying until both sides are golden.

You can make these pancakes large or small, to your liking.

To use as batter for poppers or chile rellenos, simply place poppers into the batter, hold by the stems, and make sure the entire popper is generously coated with the batter. Proceed as directed in the recipe for frying the poppers.
