American Pancakes Recipe
This pancake recipe is so easy. You need the follow ingredients: egg, milk, all purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, unsalted butter and for the topping some butter and maple syrup.
The first step is adding your eggs and milk together in a bowl. You can use a whisk, mixer or kitchen machine. Just what you like most. When the milk and eggs are combined you can add the dry ingredients in a second bowl. The dry ingredients are the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients together.
When all the dry ingredients are mixed together you can add this to the wet ingredients. Grab your whisk and mix it together. When everything is combined put a saucepan on medium heat. It’s time to melt some butter and add it to the mixture. You can also use a microwave, but I prefer the stove.
Your mix is ready. Now its time for making the pancakes. Put a baking pan on medium heat and add some butter. When the butter is melted you can add your batter. Bake the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side. The best looking pancake is golden brown on both sides. Just look for the color. If the color is right you can start flipping it. When one pancake is done you can follow the same instructions.
