Shrove Tuesday might only come around once a year, but we love these American-style pancakes all year. Serve with poached egg, spinach and hollandaise sauce. My mum called them 'on the farm' pancakes. These are amazing with maple syrup, golden syrup, lemon curd, Nutella or sprinkled with.
American style pancakes step by step
Add the lemon juice to the milk and stir well. Leave to stand for 5 minutes until thickened.
Beat the egg and add it to the buttermilk.
Add the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and stir in the buttermilk and egg mixture and mix together.
Melt the butter in a frying pan then tip the melted fat into the batter and stir well.
Add a few blobs (roughly 2 tbsp per pancake) to the frying pan and cook on one side and then flip over and cook the panckake for a few minutes.
Serve pancakes in a stack with the blueberries and yoghurt.
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.
