American Pancakes, Flapjacks, Crumpets...

When my sons were little they used to sing this song:

Bakin pancakes…

Makin pancakes…

Bakin, Makin pancakes

I guess there is no better way to start a weekend, than with a song

and some breakfast pancakes, Flapjacks or Crumpets.

Ingredients:

2       Eggs

2C    Water

1T      Vinegar

3T      Oil

¼C    Sugar

2½C  Cake Flour

3½t    Baking Powder

¼t      Salt

1. Mix all the wet ingredients (Eggs, Water, Vinegar and Oil) together.

2. Mix all the dry Ingredients (Sugar, Flour, Salt and Baking Powder) in a separate bowl.

3. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until the batter is thick and smooth. +/- 5 minutes

4. Cover with the batter with plastic wrap and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

5. Heat a large pan, drizzle a little oil in the pan and spoon the mixture into the pan with a soup ladle or pour it with a jug.

6. Wait for bubbles to form on top. Flip it over. They are ready when they are golden brown.

 

Tip:

* Do not press it flat, allow them to puff up.

* Drizzle a little Oil into the pan after each batch.

This is how you make: 

Flapjacks or Crumpets: Spoon 2-3 small blobs of batter onto the pan. 

American Pancakes: Spoon 1 big blob of batter onto the middle of pan.

 7. Serve and enjoy them with butter, a drizzle of syrup or a blob of jam. You can also enjoy them with fresh fruit, fresh cream or ice cream.

 

Stack them on top of each other, flavour, decorate & enjoy…

Lotsa Love
