Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancake Recipe – Whisk Guide
Making pancakes is more than just flipping batter in a pan. It’s an act of love and creativity. When it comes to my favorite crepe-style pancakes using Pamela’s blend, I find that pairing them with fresh fruits can elevate the experience. Strawberries, blueberries, and bananas piled high not only look appealing but add flavors that dance on your palate.
Drizzle some warm maple syrup or honey on top, and you have a breakfast masterpiece. For a savory twist, consider crispy bacon or a sprinkle of goat cheese with arugula. Dare I say, savory pancakes can be just as addictive. Why not throw a dollop of yogurt next to it? This gives a creamy contrast that complements the lightness of the crepe pancakes.
Today, I’m excited to share my adventure with Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancakes. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by breakfast options, you’re not alone. I remember the first time I decided to make pancakes. My kitchen was a mess, and let’s say things didn’t go as planned. But fear not! With a little guidance and the right ingredients, anyone can whip up these delightful pancakes that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor.
What is Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancake?
Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancakes are a delicious blend of simplicity and taste. Using Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Blend, this recipe allows you to create pancakes that are thin, tender, and slightly crisp around the edges. Unlike traditional thick, fluffy pancakes, these have a unique texture that elevates your breakfast to a new level. If you’ve ever enjoyed French crepes stuffed with sweet or savory fillings, you’re in for a treat!
What is the Flavor Profile of This Dish?
The flavor profile of these pancakes is inviting and versatile. The subtle sweetness from honey or maple syrup pairs beautifully with the neutral tasting pancake base. When you use vanilla extract, it introduces a warm note that sings through each bite. Top it with fresh fruits, and you’ll experience juicy bursts of flavor that contrast wonderfully.
You also have the option to go savory. Imagine adding cheese or sautéed vegetables. The balance of flavors is what makes this dish so enjoyable. Depending on your toppings and sides, you can pivot the flavor profile from sweet to savory in a heartbeat.
What Makes This Recipe Different From Other Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancakes?
What sets this recipe apart is its unique blend and the ease of preparation. Many pancake recipes require complex measurements or various flour types. Pamela’s blend simplifies the process. It’s gluten-free and made with high-quality ingredients designed to yield light pancakes without much fuss. I’ve experimented with other blends, but Pamela’s consistently gives the best results, both in texture and flavor.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Blend
- 1⅓ cups liquid (water or milk)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Step by Step Directions
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
First, gather all the ingredients. It’s easier to have everything on hand before you start. They should all be at room temperature for the best mix.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Blend, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Then, add the eggs and the liquid. Stir until the batter is smooth. Depending on how thick you want your pancakes, you can adjust the liquid.
Step 3: Let the Batter Rest
Letting the batter rest for about 5 to 10 minutes can enhance texture. This allows the ingredients to mingle together and create a more cohesive batter.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, heat a bit of oil or butter over medium heat. You want it hot, but not smoking. If you splash a drop of water, it should sizzle.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about a ¼ cup of batter into the pan. Quickly tilt the pan to spread the batter into a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges look set and bubbles form in the center.
Step 6: Flip!
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Repeat and Stack
Continue this process until you’ve used all the batter. Stack your pancakes on a plate and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Tips On Making Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancakes
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for a few minutes. This helps create a smoother texture.
- Control the Heat: If your pancakes brown too fast, lower the heat. You want them lightly golden.
- Try Different Liquids: Experiment with buttermilk, almond milk, or even coconut milk for varied flavors.
- Toppings Matter: Elevate your pancakes with fruit compotes or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook one or two pancakes at a time to maintain even cooking and make flipping easier.

How Can I Store This Pamela’s Crepe Style Pancake Recipe?
You can store these pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze them, lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag for up to three months. Just reheat them in a toaster or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy.
Substitute Options for Ingredients
We all get to those moments when we realize we’re out of something vital in the kitchen. Here’s a list of substitutes that can save the day:
- Vegetable Oil: You can use melted butter or coconut oil instead. Both add a unique flavor and richness.
- Eggs: If you’re out of eggs, try using flaxseed meal. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit until it thickens. This works wonders and is vegan-friendly.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: If you’re looking for alternatives, agave syrup or stevia can do the trick. Both are less caloric but still sweeten the dish.
- Milk Options: Unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk are great substitutes for dairy. They bring their own unique flavors and textures.
