Best Ever Pancakes

My gorgeous niece is staying with us this week and therefore we are spoiling her rotten (them be the rules!). Her request for breakfast this morning was pancakes, and – ladies and gentlemen – I have finally cracked American pancakes! Previously they have been too crispy, too thin, too chewy; all sorts of things one wouldn’t want in a breakfast pancake. Today? Sublime! HOORAY!! 

  
Look at it! Look at that rise! The crisp edges and golden skin! YUM!

So here’s the recipe:

270g plain flour

4 tbsp golden caster sugar

1tsp salt

2tsp baking powder

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 eggs

250ml milk

Mix all the dry ingredients in a good size bowl.

Mix the wet stuff in a jug.

Whisk them together. Leave for five minutes while you make a cuppa.

Fry in a little butter or oil until bubble pop on the surface, then flip them over for another 30 seconds or so. 

Serve with a little salt and maple syrup if you’re me, strawberries, syrup and chocolate spread if you’re four!

Any ideas for additional toppings or feedback, leave em in the comments!
