American Pancakes

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

Cooking time: 10-20 minutes

Serves: 10-12 pancakes

These pancakes are very light and fluffy and are perfect for breakfast and so delicious.



Ingredients

115g Plain flour
1 heaped tsp Baking powder
Pinch of salt
140ml Milk
3 large free range eggs

Method:

1. First separate your eggs by putting the whites into one bowl and the yolks in another.

2. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to your yolks then mix your batter with an electric whisk until you get a smooth thick batter.

3. Add your salt to the whites and mix with an electric whisk until it forms into stiff peaks (a bit like marshmallow)

4. Carefully tip your egg whites into your batter and using a metal spoon gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

5. Heat a non stick pan onto a medium heat. Using a ladel pour a spoonful of your batter into the middle of your pan and spread your pancake to as big or as small as you want by moving your ladel in circles round the pancake.

6. When your pancake has a lot of bubbles on top use a spatula to flip your pancake over. When you have flipped it over, leave your pancake for around the same amount of time. Carry on flipping till both sides are golden.

7. Repeat this process till all your batter is used.
    TIP: You may need to turn your heat down if your pancakes are cooking too quickly

There you go, your pancakes are all done. You can serve them with whatever you want but I love to use strawberries, blueberries and kiwi with a little bit of maple syrup to give it a nice flavour. You could also even add your toppings into your batter whilst its in the pan!

I hope you enjoy my pancakes and please comment down below what you think. Thank you! :-P x
