American pancakes
We love these for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast and the best thing is, you can mix it up and change the flavours each week - they do say variety is the spice of life!!!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 200 g self raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 300 ml milk
- 150 g your chosen flavour mashed banana, chocolate chips, chopped pineapple, blueberries
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Syrup for drizzling
- Extra fruit and yogurt to top optional
Instructions
- Put the flour, baking powder, egg and milk in a jug; whisk (I use an electric one as I find it makes them extra fluffy)
- Add your extra ingredient and the sugar; stir
- Heat 1 tbsp of butter in your frying pan; when it is bubbling pour in 4 'rounds' of the mixture to create 4 pancakes
- Cook for 3 minutes over a medium heat (you will see small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes
- Pop them in the oven on low while you heat some more butter to make another 4 pancakes
- When you are ready to serve, plate up 2 pancakes, add some fruit and a drizzle of syrup
- Enjoy!
