It's pancake day and while there's always the great debate - pancakes or crepes? I thought I'd share my most favourite pancake recipe with you! I'm a huge fan of fluffy American style pancakes, but not of how stodgy they can be! This recipe makes perfect fluffy pancakes every time and I can't wait to dig in to some tonight!
Ingredients:
200g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 large eggs
250ml milk
vegetable oil for frying
Method:
Mix together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Once well combined make a well in the middle and add the milk and eggs. Mix until just combined a few lumps are fine, and actually add to the fluffyness! You want to avoid over mixing it.
Heat the oil in your frying pan and add the mix to the oil once its sizzling. Leave your pancake to cook and don't be tempted to poke at it. Once bubbles appear on the surface, it's ready to flip! Flip it until and fry the other side until golden brown.
Once cooked, I like to serve them with either maple syrup and a dollop of butter, or blueberries and honey. Alex prefers it with maple syrup and bacon, but either way, they're delicious!
