American style pancakes step by step
Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C), with a heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven..
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside..
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or vegetable oil), and egg..
Pour the dry ingredients to the milk mixture, and stir (do not overmix)..
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and coat generously with vegetable oil..
For each pancake, spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet. Cook until the surface of pancakes have some bubbles, about 1 minute. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until brown on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Transfer to the heatproof platter, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven until serving. Serve warm, with desired toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries or banana slices..
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.
