鬆餅是深受喜愛的早餐主食,永遠不會過時。雖然經典煎餅的堆疊再好也難以超越,但也有許多方法能把你的煎餅堆疊提升到新境界,無論是往麵糊裡加入配料,或是以特殊的裝飾來點綴煎餅。本道香胡蘿蔔蛋糕煎餅的配方選擇了兩者兼具,結合了讓人熟悉又喜愛的辛香、脆甜口感——從甜美、帶肉桂香的胡蘿蔔基底,到頂部濃郁的奶油乳酪糖霜——並把它改造成適合周六早晨享用的煎餅堆。
在成長過程中,我的媽媽做的胡蘿蔔蛋糕非常棒,啟發了我在這次製作煎餅時的靈感。媽媽經典的胡蘿蔔蛋糕之所以特別,是因為它加入了菠蘿碎、椰子和葡萄乾等材料,外加恰到好處、濃郁又順滑的奶油乳酪糖霜。在我的胡蘿蔔蛋糕煎餅版本中,我保留了懷舊的菠蘿和葡萄乾,以及可選的核桃,去除了椰子,讓整個味道保持甜香與香料的平衡,帶出復古的風味。這些煎餅甜而不膩,同時也能冷凍保存,讓忙碌的工作日早晨與原本豪華的週末早餐同樣適用,餘量也能善用。
Gather the ingredients for carrot cake pancakes
沒有好吃的胡蘿蔔蛋糕就算不上完美的版本;因此在這道胡蘿蔔蛋糕煎餅的食譜裡,您會看到奶油乳酪打發鮮奶油糖霜的做法,以及麵糊所需的材料。糖霜部分,您會用軟化的奶油乳酪、糖粉、香草豆莢膏或香草精、少許 kosher 鹽,以及鮮奶油。至於煎餅本體,您需要一條大胡蘿蔔(或幾條較小的胡蘿蔔)、酪乳、雞蛋、深糖、鹽、肉桂粉、全用途麵粉、泡打粉與小蘇打粉、 crushed pineapple(新鮮或罐裝)、無鹽奶油。可選地,煎煉過程中加入核桃和葡萄乾,煎好後可搭配更多核桃或楓糖漿作裝飾。
Step 1: Mix the cream cheese and sugar together
為製作糖霜,先把奶油乳酪、糖粉、香草與鹽混合打發。
Step 2: Whip in the heavy cream
慢慢加入鮮奶油,持續攪打直到混合物達到軟性至中等高峰,然後冷藏待用。
Step 3: Grate the carrot
為煎餅麵糊,請使用刨絲器的細孔面向,將胡蘿蔔細切碎成約一杯量的丁粒。
Step 4: Whisk together the wet ingredients for pancakes
在中等大小的碗中,將雞蛋、酪乳、深色糖、鹽與肉桂攪拌混合。
Step 5: Add the dry ingredients, carrot, and pineapple
加入麵粉、泡打粉、小蘇打、刨碎胡蘿蔔與菠蘿,輕輕拌勻至只剛好混合。
Step 6: Melt the butter in a skillet
於中火偏低的平底不粘煎鍋中,融化奶油。
Step 7: Fold the melted butter into the pancake batter
把融化的奶油倒入煎餅麵糊中,輕輕拌勻以混合。
Step 8: Scoop the batter into the pan
用量湯匙或舀子舀取約¼杯的麵糊,放入煎鍋中,間距至少保持2英寸的距離。
Step 9: Optionally sprinkle pancakes with walnuts and raisins
如有需要,在每片煎餅上撒幾粒葡萄乾與核桃。
Step 10: Flip and cook the pancakes on the other side
等到表面出現氣泡時再翻面,讓另一面煎至金黃熟透。
Step 11: Let the pancakes cool as you make another batch
煎完後將煎餅放在冷卻架上,再用剩餘的麵糊繼續煎另一批。
Step 12: Serve the carrot cake pancakes
趁熱享用煎餅,搭配奶油乳酪打發奶油糖霜與楓糖漿享用最佳。
Can I make carrot cake pancakes ahead?
煎餅是最適合作前準備的早餐之一,而這款胡蘿蔔蛋糕煎餅也不例外。麵糊本身可以提前製作,但我認為若需要時才把材料備好且在烹煮前(或最多提前 30 分鐘讓它在室溫稍作休息以得到更好的口感)攪拌均勻,是最佳做法。奶油乳酪糖霜也可以提前一天完成,但上桌前需要再次攪打,才能呈現輕盈、通透的口感。一旦煎煉完成且冷卻,煎餅在冰箱可放幾日,冷凍則可長達幾個月。冷凍時,確保完全冷卻,裝入冷凍安全容器或密封袋。從冷凍狀態取出,可以直接放入烤箱烤麵包機或煎鍋中加熱,無需先解凍。事先製作的好處在於,重新加熱後口感依然美味,且能恢復到鬆軟的質地,毫不費力。
What are tips for making fluffy pancakes?
要做出超級鬆軟的煎餅,有幾種不同的方法,例如在麵糊中加入酵母,或用耐保存的蒸發奶替代普通牛奶。對我而言,讓煎餅保持盡可能蓬鬆的關鍵並不在於某一個成分的添加或替代,而在於製作時的手法。
輕手很重要,過度攪拌或過度處理麵糊會讓煎餅變得密實、笨重。也要確保量取麵粉時要用勺量並抹平表面,而不是以 eyeballing 的方式。麵粉過量也會讓麵糊變重。輕輕將乾料拌入,直到不再看到明顯的麵粉條紋。若讓麵糊靜置幾分鐘,之後再快速攪拌一次,讓浮起來的麵粉重新均勻混合。烹煮時,火力保持在較低的一端,這樣煎餅有足夠時間膨脹而不會一面過焦。煎翻後不要再按壓煎餅,讓它自煎至熟透,保留蓬鬆、輕盈的口感。
