Let's be honest, the supposed diet ended in mid-January anyway and we do sport rather sporadically! Whether breakfast in bed or just in between: These pancakes have it all!

Pancakes for every day – our favorite recipe

For the dough:

200g flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

a pinch of salt

1 tablespoon of sugar

2 eggs

250ml milk of your choice

optionally some vanilla

But there is more! Pancake variations for every occasion

1. Pancake cake

Do it like Maria and stack your pancakes on top of each other with a good layer of cream in between. Whether fruit or chocolate as a topping, this cake definitely sweetens our day!

2. Funfetti pancake for children's birthday parties

With lots of colorful sprinkles and (vegan) vanilla sauce, these pancakes are not just a real experience for the youngest! The crumble can also be mixed into the dough so that the party feeling comes to your plate in the morning.
