Hey guys I have stole my Dads secret recipie for the lovely fluffy american pancakes,

These pancakes are light and fluffy and great for a weekend brunch. Try adding a large handful of fresh blueberries to the batter before cooking.

Heres the recipie

Ingredients

135g/4¾oz Plain Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
2 tbsp Caster Sugar
130ml/4½fl oz Milk
1 large Egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp melted Butter (allowed to cool slightly) or Olive Oil, plus extra for cooking

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.

This recipie serves 6 - 8 people.

It takes less then 30 mins preparation.

Less than 10 mins cooking time.
