Fluffy Pancakes with Whipping Cream Instead of Milk A Step by Step Guide

Okay, so, I’ve always been a huge pancake fan. I mean, who isn’t, right? But the other day I ran out of milk and it was too late to go to the store. I did have some whipping cream in the fridge, though. So I thought, “Why not try using that instead of milk?”

I got everything ready. First, I mixed all the dry stuff together in a big bowl – you know, the flour, a bit of sugar, some baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, I whisked the wet ingredients. This time, that meant eggs, a splash of vanilla, and then came the star of the show: the whipping cream! I poured in a good amount, maybe about half a cup, and added a bit of water, since the cream is thicker. I whisked it all up until it was nice and smooth.

Getting Ready to Cook

• Mixed dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisked wet ingredients, including the whipping cream, in another bowl.
• Slowly added the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing gently.

Then, I slowly poured the wet mixture into the dry stuff, stirring it all together. I made sure not to overmix it, just until it was combined. You know how it is, you don’t want tough pancakes. I heated up my trusty non-stick pan over medium heat and melted a little pat of butter in it. Once the butter was all bubbly, I ladled some batter onto the hot pan.

I cooked the pancakes for a few minutes on each side, until they were golden brown and cooked through. They puffed up really nicely, even more so than usual, I think. The smell was amazing, like regular pancakes but somehow…richer? Anyway, I flipped them over, cooked the other side, and then stacked them up on a plate.

The moment of truth! I drizzled some syrup on top and took a bite. Oh, my goodness. These were seriously the fluffiest, most delicious pancakes I’d ever made. They were so tender and had this amazing, slightly sweet, rich flavor. Using whipping cream instead of milk was a total game-changer. I’m definitely doing this again!

You should definitely give it a try sometime. It’s a super easy way to elevate your pancake game. Let me know if you do, I’d love to hear what you think!
