Notes
Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!
I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.
I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.
You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.
Let’s cook!
Tips:
To get soft and fluffy pancakes, the iron rule is to not overcook them. Pipe Cinnamon Filling on your pancakes when the batter on top is still runny but some bubbles appear. Be careful to not use a too high heat under your pan, or your pancakes will become dry and a bit burn outside before they can properly cook inside!
Flip your pancakes when Cinnamon Filling is well melt and slightly cooked, then cook for less than 1 minute increasing a bit the heat.
You can top your pancakes with simple icing sugar glaze or with the traditional cinnamon roll topping: cream cheese glaze.
If you want to make cream cheese glaze, mix about 50 g (3 tbsp) of room temperature cream cheese, with a hint of vanilla extract and 20 g (2 tbsp) of powdered sugar; then add little by little about 30 g (2 tbsp) of room temperature milk until get a creamy consistency. With this recipe you’ll get a one serving topping glaze, double the amount if you’re sharing your pancakes with a greedy friend!
