When five of my girl friends came for brunch on Sunday, I treated them to nice bread rolls, oeufs en cocotte and american pancakes with maple syrup. The pancake recipe is from Nigella’s book How to be a domestic goddess, and they are delicious. Serve with maple syrup (mandatory) and crispy bacon (optional).
American breakfast pancakes, serves 6
225 g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 tsp sugar
2 eggs, beaten
30 g melted butter
300 ml milk
butter for frying
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl and add to the flour mixture. Add the milk bit by bit and lastly the butter. Transfer to a jug and fry in butter until golden on both sides. Serve with maple syrup and maybe crispy bacon.
I’m ashamed to admit, being a food blogger, that I had some of these yesterday out of a packet :(. But maybe now I’ll try making them, they look delicious.
I think they’re just as easy actually, you could do it half asleep in the morning. Promise! 🙂
