Pancakes or Hotcakes

​These are the American style hotcakes traditionally served with maple syrup and banana but you could sneak in a bit of bacon for some extra sustenance!

Pancakes or Hotcakes

Ingredients

Method

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
  2. In another bowl beat the eggs and sugar with a whisk until pale and thick.
  3. Add the egg mixture and the milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Gently heat a non-stick frying pan and drop large spoonfuls of the mixture from the point of the spoon onto the surface.
  5. When bubbles start to burst on the top of the pikelets, turn them over and cook the second side until golden. Place in a clean tea towel to keep warm until they are all ready to serve.

Can’t beat an Edmonds recipe!

very tasty

It was very nice but just a little confused about the pan. EDMONDS: Glad you enjoyed them! For this recipe, a flat non-stick frying pan works best - just lightly greased. You want the surface hot enough that a drop of water sizzles, but not so hot that the pancakes brown too quickly. If your pan was too hot or too thick, that might explain any confusion. Hope that helps for next time!

Fantastic recipe!

Not sure how this recipe is so highly rated, pancakes came out thin and rubbery.

Good, but I think this recipe has 1 egg too many. And you can taste it in the pancake. Just far too eggy for my liking.
