FLUFFY AMERICAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
• Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing. Let the batter stand for a few minutes.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When it's melted, add a ladle of batter (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook two pancakes at the same time). It will seem very thick but this is how it should be. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm/½in thick.
• Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, but they taste best fresh out the pan.
• Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter, if you like.

AMERICAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix 200g self-raising flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
• Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add 3 large eggs, 25g melted butter and 200ml milk.
• Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
• Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy, pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don't put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking. Cook the pancakes on one side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
• Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favourite toppings.
