How to Make Nitrous Pancakes

1. Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, canola oil, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until smooth and no lumps remain.

2. Prepare Batter in Siphon

Pour the smooth batter into a whipped cream siphon using a funnel. Seal the siphon and charge it with an N₂O charger. Allow the batter to rest in the siphon for about 20 minutes to let the air fully incorporate.

3. Cook Pancakes

Heat an electric skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with unsalted butter. Dispense the batter onto the skillet, cooking each pancake for about one minute per side or until golden brown.

Pitfalls and tips

Temperature Control

Preheat your skillet or griddle to a medium heat for a surface that's hot enough to sizzle the batter but not burn the pancakes.

Consistency of the Batter

Aim for a thick but pourable batter, similar to heavy cream, to ensure proper fluffiness without being too dense.

Ingredients at Room Temperature

Ensure ingredients like eggs and milk are at room temperature for more efficient incorporation of air, crucial when working with nitrous oxide.

Minimal Flipping

Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, to avoid deflating them and keep a tender texture.

Fresh Baking Powder

Use fresh baking powder for a vigorous reaction, providing the desired rise and fluffiness in your pancakes.
