Fluffy American Pancakes

Sorry, I am postponing to write this post for a few days now... I made a promise and didn't kept it... Time...time... Is running away and I feel sometimes I can't get enough of it...

Anyway, here it is, the recipe for fluffy american pancakes to make your week-end mornings a bliss ;)

What you need: 

- 135 gr flour ( I used black flour, but if you want white pancakes, use the white one)

- 1 tsp baking powder

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 2 tblsp sugar

- 130 ml milk, full fat please! :D

- 1 large egg, lightly beaten

- 2 tblsp melted butter ( cooled slightly) or olive oil, plus extra for cooking

How to make it:

1. Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug whisk lightly together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter. 

2. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture ad, using a fork, beat in until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will disappear. Let the batter stand for a few minutes. 

3. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat fire and add a knob of butter.  When is melted add a small ladle of batter. t will seem very thick, but this is how it should be. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble and then turn the pancake over and cook until both sides are golden and the pancake has risen to about 1 cm thick. 

4. Repeat until you finish the batter. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, but they taste the best when they are fresh directly from the pan. 

5. Serve with maple syrup, honey or jam...chocolate or whipping cream, fruits, ice cream etc, etc.... endless possibilities ;)
