pancakes!

Just a quickie today guys..if you fancy some brunch pancakes are the way to go..delish! As one of Jamie Oliver's recipes, these American pancakes are great! Instead of being thin and silky like French crêpes, they are wonderfully fluffy and thick and can be made to perfection straight away. Simple, simple, simple!

Ingredients

3 large eggs
115g/4oz plain flour
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
140ml/5fl oz  butter milk (or cows milk, butter is better :)

Method:

First separate the eggs, putting the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the yolks and mix to a smooth thick batter. Whisk the whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks. Fold into the batter – it is now ready to use.

Heat a good non-stick pan on a medium heat. Pour some of your batter into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to look golden and firm. Flip the pancake over. Continue frying until both sides are golden.

You can make these pancakes large or small, to your liking. They are very versatile and you can flavour them how you like as well. Either Syrup, honey, creme fraiche, sugar and lemon, the list is endless,  Enjoy!
