American Style Pancakes step by step

  1. Melt the butter in a frying pan then leave to cool a little.

  2. Sieve all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.

  3. Make a well in the mixture and crack in the egg. Beat in the egg with a fork and a little milk to form a thick paste. Try to work out all the lumps..

  4. All the rest of the milk and mix well using a fork or a whisk..

  5. Add in the melted butter and mix thoroughly. I transferred to a jug at this point to make it easier to pour into the pan..

  6. Using the same pan as before. Warm up the pan over a medium to high heat. Add a little butter. Once melted, smooth the butter around the pan using kitchen roll. This gives an even coating..

  7. Once the pan is really got, pour in a small amount of the batter. (I got 8 pancakes out of this recipe.) when bubbles start to appear on the topside of the pancake it is time to flip..

  8. Once both sides are golden brown, transfer to a warmed plate..

  9. I served with banana, strawberries and loads of maple syrup. But these work with amything!.

If needed, add more butter and adjust heat as you go to prevent sticking or burning. Add a little pancake batter, swirl it to cover the base and cook for around a minute before flipping to cook the other side. Serve with your choice of topping. I find these American-style pancakes almost unbearably exotic. Alongside their transatlantic glamour, they have another benefit for the nervous cook: there is no question of tossing them.
