Fluffy American Pancakes

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

 

135g Plain Flour

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Salt

2 tbsp. Caster Sugar

130ml Milk

1 Large Egg

2 tbsp. Melted Butter

 

To Serve

 

Maple Syrup

Butter

 

 

Method

 

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar in to a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.

Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and using a fork beat until you have a smooth batter.

Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing.

Let the batter stand for a few minutes

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter.

When it's melted, add a ladle of batter.

It will seem thick but this is how it should be.

Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen about 1cm.

Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven.

Serve with lots of maple syrup and extra butter if you like
