Foolproof American Pancakes.




 OK, so we've all had an ultimate pancake fail at some point, I've sure had my fair share. Walking shamefully 
to the bin, pan in hand, flopping your pathetic mound of, lets face it, scrambled eggs into the bin.... sigh.
 Well not this time!  
After a lot of trial and error I've finally got an Instagram worthy pancakes recipe down, seriously ANYONE 
can make theses bad boys. 

You will need. 

-3 large free-range eggs
-115 g plain flour
-1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
-140 ml milk
-1 pinch salt

To start with you need to separate the eggs! Put the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
Pop the flour, milk and baking powder in with the yolks and mix into a smooth batter. 
Back to the whites and you need to whisk them until they form stiff peaks. 
Now your going to want to gently fold the whisked egg whites in to the batter until the two are combined.
And that's it, its now ready to use. 
To fry the pancakes your going to want to get a good non-stick pan on a medium heat, as long as its a 
decent pan you shouldn't need any oil. Pour some of your batter into the pan and fry until you see 
bubbles start to form in the batter, this means they are ready to flip. Continue to fry the other side for a 
few minutes until your pancakes are nice and firm and both sides are golden brown. This batter should 
make between 6-8 pancakes, depending on how big you want them.
 Now for the fun part. You can top them with whatever you like, my favourite is banana and maple syrup. 
Yum. 

Enjoy!
