Argiro’s pancakes

Grandma’s pancakes are the simple pancakes of our childhood. Back then, a quick mix of three basic ingredients produced a mountain of fluffy, crispy pancakes that delighted us. I still enjoy them with traditional Paros grape molasses, both classic and vegan. Argiro’s traditional pancakes are easy and full of flavor.

Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients and prepare the batter. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and water. Mix to form a smooth batter and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Heat a pan and pour about 0.5 cm of olive oil. Once hot, spoon the batter into the pan, forming small pancakes. Cook until golden, then flip to cook the other side.
  3. Remove the pancakes and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with grape molasses, honey, or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.

Tips

  • Traditional pancakes can be made with or without yeast. Yeast makes them fluffy like loukoumades, while without yeast they are flatter and crispier.
  • Always fry in olive oil, as much of the flavor comes from frying in quality oil.
  • For a vegan option, serve with grape molasses.
  • Allowing the batter to rest longer than 15 minutes will make the pancakes fluffier.
  • You can use any flour you have, including plain wheat or all-purpose flour. Pancakes will be flatter, but still delicious.
