Baking Steps for Fresh Guava Chiffon Pancakes | Quick and Easy Recipe

Mixing the Batter:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients Together in a Medium Mixing Bowl: 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium sized mixing bowl.
2. Add in 1 ½ cup milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 egg yolks, ¼ cup guava puree, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
3. Stir until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, beat two egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Continue to mix and add in ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar. This will give the pancakes their light, fluffy texture. 
5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites with cream of tartar into the batter using a spatula. This step will help create the light, airy texture typical of chiffon pancakes.

Cooking the Pancakes:

1. Heat the griddle over medium heat (300 degrees). Make sure your baking temperature isn’t too high. 
2. Spread butter over the top of the griddle or spray with a non-stick spray. 
3. Pour batter on the griddle and heat until bubbles are formed on the first side. This will take 2-3 minutes at the most. 
4. Once you can see several bubbles, they are ready to flip. 
5. Flip the pancakes over and cook for about one more minute.
6. Take them off the griddle and serve warm.  
7. You can top them with maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, or honey.

Make the Guava Syrup (optional)

In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup guava puree, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice . Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Supplies Needed to Make Fresh Guava Chiffon Pancakes

To make fresh guava chiffon pancakes, you’ll need a few basic kitchen supplies and ingredients. You will need the ingredients listed above and something to heat the batter on. I prefer my griddle, because I can make multiple pancakes at one time and it cooks them all evenly and quickly. You could use a well buttered and heated cast iron skillet, or a regular skillet.

1. Large Mixing Bowl-For mixing your dry and wet ingredients together.
2. Measuring cups and spoons-To accurately measure the ingredients.
3. Whisk or spoon- For mixing the batter.
4. Spatula- To flip the pancakes while cooking.
5. Non-Stick skillet or griddle- To cook the pancakes. Make sure you have a large skillet. 
6. Ladle or measuring cup- To pour the pancake batter into the pan.
7. Serving Dish (optional).

Serve and Top Guava Chiffon Pancakes With

1. Fresh Tropical Fruit: Serve with sliced mango, passion fruit,  pineapple, paella, or kiwi for a fresh, vibrant pairing.
2. Coconut Syrup or Cream: Add a drizzle of coconut syrup or a dollop of coconut whipped cream to enhance the tropical feel.
3. Guava Puree or Guava Syrup: Heat up the puree or make a homemade syrup to serve over top of the pancakes
4. Macadamia Nuts: Sprinkle crushed macadamia nuts over top for a bit of crunch and a nutty flavor that compliments the sweetness of the pancakes.
5. Bacon or Sausage: For a savory balance, serve with crispy bacon or breakfast sausage to offset the sweet, fruity flavors. 
6. Tropical Smoothie: Pair the pancakes with a smoothie made from guava, banana, and coconut milk for a refreshing drink.
7. Yogurt: A serving of Greek or coconut yogurt on the side would be yummy.

How do I save them for later?

You can let leftover pancakes cool and then put them in a gallon sized bag or an airtight container. You can also wrap pancakes in cling wrap to keep them fresh. They can sit out for the day in the bag, but I would refrigerate them after that. We usually only have one or two left over at the most. They go pretty quickly around here. Kosher pancakes are a perfect anytime food and hungry teens can enjoy these fluffy pancakes with a light dusting of powdered sugar and warm syrup. The best way, is your way!
