American-Style Pancakes Recipe

Recipe

Total time: 15 to 30 minutes

Prep. time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: A few minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Chef's Note

American-style pancakes are served very hot with maple syrup and a knob of butter. Depending on the region, a few drops of vanilla may be added.

Note: American pancakes are much thicker than French crêpes, and drier than Canadian pancakes.

Ingredients

- 500 ml (2 cups) flour

- 250 ml (1 cup) milk

- 65 ml (1/4 cup) sugar

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 tsp. salt (very important)

- 3 tsp. baking powder

- Vegetable oil

Method

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl; add in the liquid ingredients and stir; do not whisk the mixture;
oil a large cast iron skillet or crêpe pan; heat it; off the heat, pour in half a ladle of the batter, immediately tilting the pan with your other hand to spread the batter evenly;
return to the heat and cook; once the edges begin to colour and you see small bubbles appearing all over the surface, flip the pancake;
cook for a few moments on the other side and slide onto a plate. Keep warm until all the pancakes are cooked.
