Recipe: Quick American Pancakes

Recently Little E has become obsessed with pancakes. All shapes, all sizes. I have become an expert at oven baked pancakes, crepes and now American style fluffy pancakes. This recipe is the quickest, easiest one I have found and seems to create perfect pancakes every single time.

I timed this recipe on a school morning so you can see just how quick it is. I also got to try out  Wykes Farm butter  (If you like their cheese you are going to love this butter) which made the pancakes taste divine.

Quick American pancakes

Serves 2/3
​Preparation time: 5mins

​135g plain flour
​1tsp baking powder
​1/2tsp salt
2tbsp caster sugar
130ml milk
1 large egg, beaten
​2 tbsp. melted butter (cooled slightly) plus extra for cooking
​

1. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl.

2. In a jug lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.

​3. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth batter.

​4. Let the batter stand for a few minutes

5. Heat a non-stick frying pan and add a knob of butter

​6. Add a ladle of batter to the pan (it will be very thick but don't worry that is exactly as it should be)

​7. Wait until the mixture starts to bubble then flip over to the other side.

​8. Cook until both sides are golden brown. The pancake should rise to about 1cm thick.

9. Repeat with remaining mixture.

​10. Serve warm with whatever toppings you desire. (We went for Nutella)

There you have it - a super simple recipe made before the school run. Off Little E goes with a smile on her face (after we have cleaned all the Nutella off!)
