Currys has shared on its TikTok account @currys a risk-free way to make fluffy American pancakes in just under five minutes. The easy-to-follow recipe video has gone viral, amassing over seven million views.

Lined air fryer tray with greaseproof baking paper, and then place a small amount of pancake batter in the middle of the baking paper.

The TikTok video ends with the pancakes being placed on a plate drenched in chocolate sauce and sprinkles. In the comment section, Currys revealed its top tip for those wanting crispy as well as fluffy pancakes. The electronics company said: “For the fluffiest results, try cooking one at a time, and layer a tiny bit of oil for a couple of mins of the baking time for that extra crispy look!”

Another TikTok user also has a method to make air fryer pancakes that look fluffy and delicious. Steph Grasso is a dietitian with over two million followers on her account @stephgrassodietitian, and her hit video has almost a million views on TikTok.

She began the video and said her pancake recipe and said: “Guys this might be the best recipe I have created. I call it air cakes.” To try this other air fryer recipe, you will need three eggs and will need to separate the egg yolks from the egg whites in two bowls.

In the bowl with the egg yolks, combine two or three tablespoons of milk as well as a tablespoon of vegetable oil and one tablespoon of vanilla extract. Steph said: “Mix it together and then sift in some flour until it looks like pancake batter.”

The dietitian stressed it was extremely important to sift the flour into the batter in order for the recipe to work.

For the egg whites, Steph added one tablespoon of white vinegar and then mixed it together until the liquid became bubbly. She then added two to three tablespoons of sugar and then mixed it together until it looked like white batter.

Steph then folded the egg whites into the yolk mixture and then placed the entire pancake mixture into a freezer bag and cut off the top like when icing a cake. She then sprayed three ceramic bowls with spray oil.

Steph then squeezed the bag filled with batter into the bowls in a circular motion. She then air-fried it for eight minutes at 300 Fahrenheit (150 Celsius). Steph pulled out the tray to show three fluffy-looking pancakes (or air cakes) and she then added fruit and maple syrup to them.

She explained you can also make the recipe look more pancake-like by flattening the top before placing them in the air fryer. Steph finished the video and said: “Now you have got yourself perfectly good and fluffy air cake. Enjoy!”
