American Pancakes With Syrup Recipes

PANCAKE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugars and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in maple flavoring. Refrigerate leftovers.

FLUFFY AMERICAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
• Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing. Let the batter stand for a few minutes.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When it's melted, add a ladle of batter (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook two pancakes at the same time). It will seem very thick but this is how it should be. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm/½in thick.
• Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, but they taste best fresh out the pan.
• Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter, if you like.

AMERICAN BREAKFAST PANCAKES

Steps:

• The easiest way to make these is to put all the ingredients into a blender and blitz. But if you do mix up the batter by hand in a bowl, make a well in the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, beat in the eggs, melted butter and milk, and transfer to a jug: it's much easier to pour the batter into the pan than to spoon it. Heat a smooth griddle or pan on the stove. When you cook the pancakes, all you need to remember is that when the upper side of the pancake is blistering and bubbling it's time to cook the second side, and this needs only about 1 minute, if that. I get about 16 silver-dollar-sized pancakes out of this.

AMERICAN PANCAKES WITH SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 100 (LOW)
• Sieve the Flour, Salt and Baking Powder and Sugar into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the Egg Yolks, Cream, Milk and melted Butter and mix until smooth.
• In another mixing bowl, whisk the Egg Whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the Egg Whites into your batter
• Brush a non stick pan with a little oil a fry large spoonfulls of your batter (approx the size of a dricks coaster)
• When bubbles appear on the surface, flip them over. When cooked, pop onto a baking tray in your preheated oven to keep warm.
• When you are finished you can remove the pancakes from the oven and assemble them as follows.
• on a plate put layer the pancakes, followed by a sliver of butter and top with Maple Syrup. Stack them as high as you can handle ;)

AMERICAN-STYLE SOUFFLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine blackberries and raspberries in a bowl. Fold in maple syrup to give the berries a nice shine. Set aside.
• Separate egg yolks and whites into 2 mixing bowls.
• Add 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar to the yolks; whisk until dissolved. Mix in vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter. Add 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon self-rising flour. Whisk just until flour disappears into the batter.
• Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Whip using a large, clean whisk until stiff peaks form.
• Stir 1/3 of the whites gently into the batter using a silicone spatula, until mostly smooth but streaks of white remain. Gently fold in the rest of the whites, scraping the batter over the top and occasionally rotating the bowl as you go, until batter is light yellow and fluffy.
• Lightly butter a nonstick pan over medium-low to medium heat. Scoop in desired amount of batter. Cover and cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and continue cooking until bottom is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes on warm plates and top with the berry mixture.

AMERICAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix 200g self-raising flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
• Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add 3 large eggs, 25g melted butter and 200ml milk.
• Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
• Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy, pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don't put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking. Cook the pancakes on one side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
• Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favourite toppings.
