How to make American pancakes

America’s pancakes are slightly different from the ones we make in England; they even have restaurants that are specifically just for pancakes! IHOP is a famous American pancake house, below is a simple recipe on how to make pancakes just as good as theirs!

Prepare

Get everything you need first; Frying pan, Whisk, Mixing Bowl, Sieve, Flower(135g) , Caster Sugar(2tbsp), Egg(1), Milk (130ml), Butter(2tbsp) and a pinch of salt.

Mix

Sift the salt, baking powder caster sugar and the flour into the mixing bowl and then break the eggs into the middle. Melt the butter and then start whisking the egg and milk in a separate bowl, once the butter has melted whisk it into the milk and egg.  Pour the two mixtures together, beat with a form making sure that there aren’t any lumps.

Frying

Heat up the frying pan, add some butter and wait for it to melt. Once it has melted add some of the mixture onto the frying pan and make sure that it is thick.  Once the pancake has started to bubble, turn it over , leave it to cook for a few minutes and it should then be golden brown. Repeat this until the mixture has been used up.

Eat

They are at their best straight from the pan, but you can always re heat in the microwave once they have been cooked. The pancakes can be served with butter or syrup depending on your preference.
