American pancakes are really something different from the pancakes we are used to in the Netherlands. They are not flat and cannot be rolled up. No, they are a bit smaller, nice and thick and super airy! Traditionally you eat them with a knob of butter and Maple Syrup, but they are also delicious with icing sugar or Dutch pancake syrup!

You can bake these American pancakes in no time. What should you pay attention to while baking? Those are the air bubbles that come up. When the big bubbles have burst, it's time to flip the pancakes. The batter is not yet dry on the top, as with Dutch pancakes.

It is best not to bake these American pancakes for too long. So turn them over in time and also remove them from the pan in time. The latter is of course a matter of practice, although it is a good start to stick to about 5 minutes of baking time per pancake.

This recipe is for 4 servings (16 pieces).

Ingredients:

250 gr wheat flour
16 gr (1 bag) baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 eggs
30 gr butter, melted
300 ml buttermilk
oil or butter, for frying

Preparation of American pancakes

Mix the flour with the baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Then add the eggs, melted butter and buttermilk. Beat everything together well until you have a smooth batter that is about the thickness of custard.

Then heat a frying pan over medium heat. Put a little oil or butter in here and slide a gravy spoonful of the batter into the pan at a time. Do you have a large pan? Then it is best to bake three American pancakes at the same time.

Wait until the pancakes start to bubble. When the biggest bubbles have burst, you can turn the American pancakes. Then fry them for another two minutes on the other side.

Stack a few pancakes on each plate and serve them with a knob of butter and some Maple Syrup, icing sugar or syrup. Enjoy your meal!
