How to make American Style Pancakes

Fuse sweet and savoury with our American style pancakes. Whether dripping with syrup, slathered in butter, or topped with something salty, these pancakes are guaranteed crowd pleaser. (Y’all).

What you'll need:

Pancake batter

200g self-raising flour
3 eggs (or egg replacer)
30g melted butter (or plant-based alternative)
200ml milk (or plant-based alternative)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp caster sugar
Pinch salt

To serve

Blueberries or other fresh berries
Greek Yoghurt (or plant-based alternative)
Chocolate Chips
Streaky Bacon or plant-based alternative (fried until crispy)
Maple syrup

Tips & Tweaks

For a more potent hit of sweetness, try mixing a teaspoon of vanilla essence into your pancake batter.

Method:

Mix the self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt together in a bowl or mixing jug.
Once mixed, make a well in the bowl and add the eggs, 25g of melted butter and the milk.
Whisk together until the batter is smooth. This is easiest with an electric whisk or hand beater, but you can do this with a wooden spoon if needed. Top tip: Once whisked, you can add some berries or chocolate chips into the batter if you wish.
Heat the last 5g of butter in a pan and cook your pancakes, flipping them once they are golden brown.
Serve with your choice of topping.
