American Style Pancakes

So since its lent and all I decided to give up sweets and chocolate as I am literally addicted to them! I've been trying to find new ways to get my sweet fix, through more filling ways, instead of just eating bags of sweets.I've never tried american pancakes and always thought they'd be hard to make but they're super simple and really yummy! Once you cover them in maple syrup and blueberries you just can't stop eating! soo yummmmy!

So first here's the list of ingredients you use:

200g Self raising flour

1 tsp of baking powder

300ml milk

knob of butter

Blueberries

Oil or butter to cook with

Maple Syrup or you can even use golden syrup




So first of all measure out all the ingredients, mix together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Next up beat the egg up with the milk. You then need to make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. I use an electric whisk usually as 1. I am lazy and 2. I like to ensure the mixture is mixed well due to previous experiences with lumpy batter! This should leave you with a thick batter, you can beat in some melted butter too!
At this point, if you like you can add in some blueberries to the mix,I personally choose not to but i'm sure this still tastes great!

Then heat up a pan, i usually heat it quite hot to speed up the process then turn it down a little when I add in the fat, either oil or butter, I use butter. I turn it down to ensure the fats don't fry and fizz away! I then use a ladle, or something of a similar size to drop in some batter into the frying pan, now make this as big as you want but don't add in too much otherwise you'll get full super quick, then not leave enough room for more pancakes!!!
Leave the mix to cook for about a minute, or until brown then flip and then a minute or so again for the other side! Then tadaa you're done!

I then drizzle mine all over in syrup and top with blueberries and tuck in! They do taste best when you have a few at the time but if you can't wait then tuck in! Repeat the process for the rest of the batter. I would say this makes around 8 biggish pancakes but would definitely makes 10, I just like to make mine a bit bigger!

I hope you enjoy these and find them as yummy as me
