How do I make american pancakes pls?

[TotorosOcarina]

not the mingy english ones

google the recipe and follow it?

I use nigella

nigella has a recipe

agree

use google

oh fark off then.

may as well leave MN because EVEERY thread I've ever posted could have been googled to some point.

and when i google a recipie no-ones there to tell me if they've used it and it actually works well.

300ml milk
2 eggs
30g melted butter
225g plain flour
1tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

Bung in a blnder and mix.

and no point in having this section then is there?!

thankyou soupy

I know it off by heart I"ve made it so often. It was Nigella's originally (I upped the sugar content)

I use it for pancakes and waffles every weekend.

If you google you get 3000 different recipes, and you don't know if they are any good. Whats wrong with asking for personal recipes that are T&T. Joyless wagons.

Not much help here sorry, I just use a regular pancake batter but thicker, and add some baking powder.

will try it now, am having sugar craving :)

if you google a recipe you will get BBC good food (generally good), Delia (always reliable), Nigella (always good)

it's not rocket science

although I apprecaite I am in a bad mood today so would quite like a huge online argument please

Nigella recipe v good

rofl at activate

I find that following american pancake recipes with British ingredients doesn't give the correct flavour and texture. Probably because we have different flour etc..

So I order pancake mixes from Stonewall Kitchen (not many UK importers, but here is one)

They are yum yum yum.

Sorry, crappy linking

I whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks then fold into the mix. You get really fluffy light ones then. Otherwise I think 'fat pancakes' as they are called in this house come out a bit doughy.

I bet Soupys recipe is great, because I tried her soft flapjack one and it is divine

ahem, I recommended nigella's first

And it does work v.well.

Nigella's buttermilk ones are the best - I used to live in the US and these are the closest I have ever come to the taste and texture.

250ml Buttermilk (in tescos and sainsburys they sell it with the creams etc in 284ml pots - I just bung the whole pot in)
125g Plain flour
1 egg
half tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb
1 tsp caster sugar (not really nec IMO)
mix it all together until you have a smooth thick batter and if you want add a mashed banana which makes you feel a bit healthy!
then add 30g of melted butter

Fry them in a non stick frying pan - make it very hot then drop gold ball size blobs of batter in allowing space for a bit of spreading (I get 4 blobs in a large frying pan at once)
turn the heat down to medium - when they start to bubble on the surface flip them over.

Only serve with proper maple syrup- delish

Buttermilk sounds good - i made some muffins with it and they were in a different league too.

I liked bisquik as a student

don't need to buy buttermilk - a tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice stirred into milk and left for 5 mins = buttermilk

see I can be helpful, and cantankerous

Chippyminton in that recipe you linked to what does it mean 300 ml milk butter for frying? does she mean butter milk?

Oh, i think they ran too lines together I am assuming... it should have been
300 milk
butter for frying!
it confused me LOL
