Best Soft Raisin Pancakes Recipe: Liven Up Your Breakfast!
How to Make Delicious Pancakes With Raisins
You've probably had pancakes with fresh fruit—berries, bananas, and apples are all popular additions. Sometimes fruit is added as a topping, and sometimes it's mixed directly into the batter and cooked into the pancakes. Either way, it's delicious, but have you ever tried mixing a dried fruit like raisins into your pancake batter? It turns out that's delicious, too!

Instructions

- In batches, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk thoroughly as you go. Set aside.

Tips and Techniques
- For creamier pancakes, use milk instead of water.
- For a nuttier flavor, cook the raisin pancakes in butter rather than oil.
- Separate the egg yolks from egg whites. Beat the whites first to make them fluffy before adding in the yolks and other ingredients.
- Cook the pancakes over low heat to prevent burning.
- Replace raisins with other dried fruits (try dried apricots or cranberries, for example).
- Try fruit compote for a sweet garnish.
