If you’re looking for a quick and hassle-free breakfast option for the weekend, air fryer pancakes are the ideal solution.

This simple recipe combines flour, eggs, and milk to create deliciously fluffy pancakes in a fraction of the time.

The beauty of using an air fryer is that it eliminates the need for flipping, allowing you to cook your pancakes evenly without any mess.

In just six to eight minutes, you can enjoy perfectly cooked pancakes that are ready for your favourite toppings.

According to The Independent, this viral hack produces a "perfect" batch with just four simple ingredients combined into a versatile mix.

Ingredients

Flour

Eggs

Milk

Oil or butter (for greasing)

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, eggs, and milk to create your batter. This innovative method works perfectly for both American-style and European crepe-like pancakes.

Line the air fryer basket with baking parchment and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

For uniform pancakes, use a small cake tin to keep the batter contained. If you prefer a rustic look, simply pour the batter directly onto the parchment.

For added efficiency, layer another piece of parchment and pour additional batter on top, allowing you to cook several pancakes at once.

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (about 350°F). Place the basket inside and cook the pancakes for six to eight minutes. This method ensures a hassle-free experience without the need for flipping.

Once cooked, let your creativity shine with toppings. Whether you prefer classic lemon and sugar or a decadent chocolate treat, pile them on and enjoy your delicious air-fried pancakes.
