Pancakes

In honour of Pancake or Shrove Tuesday I decided to share this nice recipe for American style pancakes with you. The traditional Irish pancake is lovely, but this is nice for a bit of variety too! Don’t be afraid to experiment with it and mix it around a bit, adding fresh or dried fruit to the recipe can really liven it up. Each to their own and all that!!

 

American Pancakes

Ingredients:

300g Self Raising Flour

1 tsp of Bicarbonate of Soda

2 eggs

290/300ml of Buttermilk

4 tbsp of milk

85g of melted butter

Pinch of Salt

 

Method:

1. Sieve the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and gradually whisk in the eggs and buttermilk,  followed by the milk and melted butter. Mix until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
2. Using a non-stick pan, melt butter and when hot add 1 or 2 ladles (per pancake) of the batter to the pan. Depending on the size of your pan you can fry one or several pancakes at a time. Cook for 2-3min until bubbles appear and the underside is set and golden. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3min.
3. These pancakes are lovely served in a stack with Highbank Orchard Apple Syrup drizzled over them, so when cooked transfer them to a plate, cover with greaseproof paper and keep warm in a low oven. When you have enough for a nice sized stack, don’t hold back!

 

To make this recipe more fun add; 2 eating apples grated &/ 50g dried berries to step 2 when the mixture is smooth.
