Important: I only slowly stir the soda into the pancake batter at the end, otherwise the carbon dioxide will be mixed out.
Note the cup info after the table, it’s certainly interesting to read about it.
As a basis we take a previously “weighed” or selected coffee mug.

Pfannkuchenteig Rezept ohne Waage
Since we rarely measure ingredients in cups in Germany, you can find information about the international filling quantity here:
There are two units for the metric measuring cup:
–> 235 ml capacity in a US cup
and
–> 285 ml capacity in an imperial cup.
We literally translate the word “cup” as “tea”.
Here in Germany, the cup as a unit of measurement is an “approximately” unit of measurement.
Internationally, “cup” is actually a precisely defined unit.
At home, a cup helps “weigh in”
You fill different cups and find a suitable measure.
I don’t use the cup as a unit of measurement, when I “weighed in” I had the following results.
To be honest, this paragraph should warn you against typical “chef” recipes, after all, your dough should turn out well 🙂
Cup 350 ml/g capacity
Cup 400 ml/g capacity
Cup 430 ml/g capacity
9. Pancakes Thermomix
The miracle cauldron is very popular and I have already cooked with it and for it.
A long time ago, as a recipe developer, I was able to create 40 recipes for the Thermomix cookbook “So enjoy Austria – with the Thermomix ® TM5”.
It was an exciting time because I was able to really test the miracle kettle in the kitchen.
Regarding the pancake batter, I recommend the following procedure:
Prepare pancake batter in the Thermomix:
Weigh the ingredients -> I used an extra scale for this, because the scale from the test device did not work perfectly yet. -> Please test your device, certainly there were some updates in the meantime 🙂
Insert the plastic stirring paddle into the Thermomix.
Add the milk and eggs (without the shell) to the mixing bowl and mix with the lid on speed 3 for 30 seconds.
Add the flour and remaining ingredients and mix again on speed 3 for 30 seconds.
Because of the power of the Wonder Kettle, you can also blend all the ingredients at once.
I prefer it old-style, then eliminates noisy mixing, which can disturb the neighbors.
Special feature: I have the dough mostly 10 minutes gently stirred further, so it becomes particularly creamy.
Bake the pancake batter as needed, of course you need a pan for this 🙂
I would rather answer the question of whether I still use the Thermomix today:
I sold the blender because it just takes up too much space in the kitchen.
It’s just too big for a mixer at home, I cook on the stove and in the oven.
I think the good, conventional mixer with a whisk or dough hook is more practical, and as a cook I can’t do without a hand blender.
The Thermomix is a good kitchen appliance, but the whisk, dough hook and hand blender attachment are quicker to clean than the many parts of the miracle kettle blender jar and lid.

10. Pancake Sweet
The fried pancake is not quite as thin as a French crepe and fills the diameter of the pan.
You can wrap the pancakes and fill them while they are being wrapped.
The sweet pancake tastes great with jam, chocolate spread (Nutella) with syrup, yoghurt and berries.
At Christmas I like to conjure up red wine pears.
The freshly baked pancakes taste great with any kind of jam.
Ms. Sixt likes to add yoghurt and fresh berries.
Discover a few more pictures and variants here, which you will certainly taste not only during Lent!
Below you can write to me directly. Please don’t forget the star rating on the recipe, 5 stars means you liked it!
Great summary, I prepared the pancakes for the first time according to your instructions and everything worked very well. Made blueberry pancakes: boiled blueberries, added sugar and then wrapped them in the pancakes. Absolutely delicious 🙂 Mercie for the many good tips. 🙂 Lisa

Hi Lisa, blueberry pancakes sound delicious! You can sprinkle the berries directly into the pan after pouring the pancake batter. Then turn and let the blueberry pancake caramelize a bit. I like to eat it with whipped cream 🙂 Greetings Thomas

Hi Thomas! Great instructions and a real pleasure to have you as a companion in the kitchen. My pancakes with different jams turned out delicious. Had used clarified butter to bake the pancakes for the first time. This tastes wonderfully sweet and suitable. An excellent tip! Sending you all the stars and greetings from Ella Kern

Hello Ella! Yes 🙂 the clarified butter is fine and a secret ingredient. Glad you enjoyed it! I especially like the strawberry jam right now. Kind regards Thomas

Hello dear chef Thomas Sixt, I absolutely have to tell you about my latest kitchen adventure and leave a compliment for your work 🙂 I had tried the pancake cup recipe from chefkoch.de and it was a total flop. I was really desperate and didn't know what to do with the thin dough. The pancakes just didn't turn out well, so I fried a Kaiserschmarrn with raisins. It wasn't that easy, although I added flour. The dough was just too lumpy. Then I wanted to do better. Luckily I had a Facebook friend who referred me to your recipe blog page. When I visited your site, I was just amazed. So there is a real chef at work by the name of Thomas Sixt with a great resume and his photos look fantastic too. Anyone who can cook so well will surely be able to lead me to the tastiest pancakes. Here, on your site, everything is explained so brilliantly, the details are conveyed in an understandable way. Of course, I also stumbled across the mug recipe and was then able to smile. It's nice when you recognize your own mistakes when reading a precise manual and understand that. So I went straight to work and tried your recipe. The salt in the dough was new to me, by the way. I still dared to take salt and the taste of the dough was new, good and convincing. My grandma always used lemon aroma, but I followed your idea with fresh lemon zest. The Ikea hexagonal grater did a reasonably good job with the lemon and me. I have already ordered a better lemon grater. Lemon zest or the zest is the best idea for fine pancake batter. I can confirm that today. Lemon flavor is seductively simpler, but the rub tastes fresher and much better. Baking the pancakes in clarified butter still worked despite the scratched, coated pan. A cooking question comes to mind: Which pan and size would you recommend? In conclusion, everything worked out perfectly for me and the pancakes were the best I've ever eaten! That's why I'm leaving you many stars here and thank you for this great recipe! Kind regards and ****** from Alicia

Hello dear Alicia, thank you very much for your beautiful and detailed description and message. I enjoyed reading your lines and I am happy how you write and how you prepare pancakes. As far as the pan goes, I would recommend Jan's small and large copper pans . Please feel free to get in touch again. Kind regards Thomas

Hi Thomas, Super successful and ingenious instructions. My first attempt at making pancakes like my mom. just went wrong. The dough had a lot of lumps, which led me to do further research. My hand blender broke shortly before, so I could only laboriously filter the dough through a tea strainer. The strange thing is when I search for pancakes on Google, the first 10 results are almost all the same. You can only find recipes from hobby cooks who seem to be copying each other. I think the worst thing is this blogger recipe, where no technical competence can be found in the text. The recipe is often at the bottom of the page, forcing you to scroll down forever. Then there is often so much useless information, I don't understand why Google lists such results so far up the list. Your recipe was recommended to me by a friend on Twitter. The preparation of specialist knowledge is absolutely unique on your side. The first big realization for me was to sift the flour. In fact, the dough is much easier to mix with the sifted flour. I hadn't used salt in combination with sugar before, the pancake batter is much tastier. My mother and grandmother never used lemon zest for the dough, that's what the inquiry at home revealed. In this respect, your description and the explanations also correspond to my research. In any case, I used the lemon zest and I think the dough is really fine with it. The question: Which fat is right for baking the pancakes also concerned me. I remember a burnt pan and smoke in the kitchen when my mother forgot to remove the pan from the stove. Here, too, your article provides the perfect information: I used clarified butter for my pancakes and the baking worked perfectly. I'm still on the go with the pan, I have to wait for my vacation pay first, then I'll also follow your pan tip. For me, this is the best pancake recipe in the world on your site. All relevant findings are optimally and clearly summarized here. Thank you for this excellent exchange of knowledge, I wish you every success with your cooking site and will definitely recommend you. Many thanks, greetings Sally

Hello Sally, thank you very much for your detailed and positive feedback. I am very happy if my instructions lead to a good experience in your kitchen and you get a great result on your plate. For me, Google is currently the best search engine, there are simply a lot of competitors in the recipe area and Google has the choice of listing from many documents. Technical competence is simply given too little attention by Google in the field of recipe search results. This results in the results in the search. Maybe something will change here at some point and Google will list pages from professionals and chefs better. I never tire of pointing out that the cooking profession is an apprenticeship, for an apprenticeship you sweat and learn at least 2.5 years. At the same time, I am of the opinion: fake recipes and copied recipes, the manipulation of the search results neither increase culinary education nor improve the skills of users in the kitchen. Sending you a big thank you for your honest and nice feedback. Feel free to get back to me, I also answer cooking questions here and of course I'm happy about a nice kitchen gossip and exchange. Kind regards Thomas

Hello Thomas, I'm from Austria and have read your articles in the standard. Those were always nice posts and your headcam cooking is really a cool format. I hope you're doing well 👍 I think your pancake recipe is great because it includes the variants. I often can't decide between jam or chocolate on pancakes, so I do both 😍. Kind regards, Bertram
Reply
Hello Bertram, thank you very much for your beautiful lines. It's always nice to hear something from Austria. I haven't done anything with the standard for a long time, I also like to look at the posts 🙂 I can understand your jam or chocolate problem! The same thing happened to me. Somehow I rediscovered strawberry jam on the pancakes. That tastes really good to me right now. Kind regards Thomas

Hi Thomas, Great recipe for pancakes, thank you very much. I keep coming back to your site because of the variations… Greetings Xenia

Hi Thomas, thanks for your message, I'm currently full of pancakes with strawberry jam. When it gets really hot again, there will be vanilla ice cream 🙂 Greetings Xenia

Hello Xenia, I can understand that well! I'm also hesitating between apricot jam and strawberry jam. Mostly both 🙂 Greetings Thomas

Hi Thomas, thanks for the detailed pancake recipe. In fact my daughter found it and then decided to make the pancakes for us. As a tester, I was allowed to read the recipe from the finished pancake. They turned out delicious. I have to smile at the Thermomix headline and the paragraph. We also have the device at home, but we rarely use it. I can fully understand your reasoning. We now look more often at your food blog. After all, the instructions are really nice and easy to understand. Greetings Martina and daughter Emmi

Hello Martina and Emmy! Very nice feedback, thank you very much! If Emmi cooks, that will certainly be practical for you. Maybe you'll try more recipes in the coming days. I wish you a lot of fun and good luck! Greetings Thomas

I actually just wanted to be inspired for a pancake recipe and I was really curious that you used brown sugar and lemon zest for the pancakes. 🙂 That just sounds great! But I find the pancake soup even more exciting!!! Do you have your own recipe for this on your blog? LG
Reply
Hello Veronica, thank you for your feedback. For the Flädlesuppe, leave out the sugar in the recipe. Cook yourself a beef broth and serve the finely sliced pancakes with chives in the soup plate. Kind regards Thomas
Reply
Dear Tom, you have to help me… I didn't get it: is crepe just a thin pancake? What is more practical for filling? What goes for "savory"? LG, Zain
Reply
Hi Zain, a crepe is basically a thin pancake. –> Keep the batter more liquid –> Bake evenly –> Fill and enjoy Regarding your cooking question: You can fill pancakes and crepes, but the pancakes shouldn't be too thick, otherwise they won't taste as good 🙂 Crepes and pancakes both go sweet or savory. Kind regards Thomas

Hello Thomas, wish you a nice good evening and hope this message reaches you. At the weekend we made a berry jam according to your instructions and today we made the pancakes for dinner. Cooking is twice as much fun with your instructions, because the steps are explained very well and even my 8-year-old son can stand in the kitchen with the pictures. It's really a great service to us, so I leave you with a big thank you and shooting stars. Greetings from the Wellers family

Hello everyone, thank you for this very nice and positive comment. I am particularly happy about such a message. We cooked peach jam over the weekend, but the recipe isn't quite ready for the cooking blog yet. I look forward to hearing from you again, feel free to send cooking questions 🙂 LG Thomas

Hello Thomas, I would like to thank you very much for your detailed instructions on how to use the iron pan. It worked perfectly on the second attempt and I will continue to heed your tips. Kind regards Bea

Hello Tanja, thanks for the positive feedback, I'm happy of course 🙂 Greetings, Thomas
Reply
Hello Thomas, I have a question about the pan: I just got myself an iron pan and unfortunately the pancakes always stick. Any advice for me? Thank you, greetings Bea
Reply
Hello Bea, your question goes a little deeper into the pan advice. Write yourself a few lines anyway: Simply repeat the burning-in with oil. Pour two fingers of oil in and heat. –> Stand still and have a lid ready for safety . –> The oil may exceptionally smoke slightly. The lid is for safety in case the oil gets too hot.–> Under no circumstances play around with water, because it splashes badly and hotly.–> Burn in the pan at high heat for approx. 30 minutes. Then turn off the stove and let the pan and oil cool down. Discard the cold oil. Always rub the pan with fresh oil before and after use because it is not rustproof. Please only clean with a brush and water. —> Use sunflower oil or rapeseed oil, no natural oil or olive oil but refined oil. Good succeed! Kind regards Thomas

Hello Mr. Sixt, take advantage of your generous offer to write a cooking question: I would like to buy a new pan for pancakes. Which would you recommend? I'm practically a beginner but finally have to replace the scratched old pan. I look forward to your reply! Greetings Patrick
Reply
Hello Patrick, thanks for the feedback and the cooking question about the optimal pancake pan 🙂 —> Simple coated pan would be an easy and sure-fire variant. The pans from Tefal, WMF, Ballarini or other manufacturers are sometimes available from 20 euros. Handling: Guaranteed to be successful, please pay attention to the coating. Shelf life: 1-3 years, depending on the frequency of use and use of plastic turners. Note: My crepe pan is now 7 years old and still runs great. —-> Iron pan This is my favorite pan, bought one from De Buyer. The costs are less than 40 euros. Handling: You have to season the pan, then it works great. Some practice and patience required. Durability: Long lasting with no chemicals or coating. Note: Iron is a great conductor of temperature, which means it saves energy and protects the planet. As far as my information, I hope I was able to advise you well! If you have any further questions, please contact us! Kind regards, Thomas Sixt

Hello Mr. Sixt, thank you 🙂 for the detailed answer. I'll probably get an iron pan and try it myself. For me, the pros outweigh the cons. Greetings Patrick.
Reply
Hi Patrick, that's a good choice. Heat the iron pan with oil over high heat. Then allow the oil to cool and discard. After use, only clean the pan with a brush and water and rub it again with oil. Have fun shopping and good luck! Kind regards, Thomas Sixt

This is a great summary of the topic and shows us the variants. I like your explanations and I think the tips are great. Tried your recipe without the pear and put different jams on the table. To be honest, this chocolate cream was also included. 🙂 This simple dish is really fun. Thank you Elfi
