What's the main difference between British and American pancakes?
The difference between British and American pancakes is a raising agent. The British-style pancakes don't use one, whereas the American-style pancakes do – typically baking powder, or whipped egg white, or both. We've used both in our recipe below.
Method
Step 1:
Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the sugar and salt.
Step 2:
Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and milk. Whisk to a smooth batter and ideally leave for 30 minutes.
Step 3:
Lightly grease a pan with butter and spoon the mixture on to the hot pan. Cook on each side for a couple of minutes.
Step 4:
Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Use the remaining butter in between to re-grease the pan.
Step 5:
Enjoy drizzled with syrup or stack and serve with fresh fruits.

Quick and super easy!
These were so fluffy and light, this is going to be our new "go to" recipe!
Exactly what we expected.
Nice
They are really tasty, but my pancakes don't come out as thick as the ones in the picture. I also add chocolate chips to mine for a bit of extra taste.
