GOD SAVE THE CAKE

 PANCAKES RECIPE

Pancakes are very popular in the US and in Canada. They were brought by immigrants probably from Germany and Holland as soon as the 18th century. It was a kind of cake made in a pan with  flour, butter milk and eggs plus a raising agent. It is generally served for breakfast with fruit and maple syrup.

INGREDIENTS :

2 eggs
22 cl milk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, extra for greasing
190 g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon caster sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder

METHOD :

1  In a bowl beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter. Put aside.

2  In another bowl sift together the flour with the salt, sugar and baking powder.

3  Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir very lightly until the wet and dry ingredients are just combined.

4  Rub a small frying pan with a little butter, heat the pan to hot and pour  3-4 tablespoons of batter.

5  Turn the heat down to medium.

6  Cook until a few bubbles come to the surface and then turn the pancake over. Cook for about 1 minute.

7  Continue making pancakes until all the batter is used up.

Serve immediately, as pancakes are best eaten hot, with maple syrup and fruit.

Enjoy with a cup of tea ;)
