How do you make american style pancakes?
Right, I love making pancakes so I may get carryed away. The difference between american and the normal is that the american style is obviously a lot thicker and can be made with self raising flour, but you can get the same effect by making a thick normal batter (by adding extra flour). Make sure use use an electric whisk to get loads of air into the mix Then use a ladle and scoop some up, the idea is not to fill up the ladel but to remember how much is in there (to get similar sized pancakes). Melt some butter in the pan and turn up to heat (medium) when hot carfully pour the liquid in the center and make it into a circle using the back of the ladle. You will start to know when there done because little bubbles will apear and with a little push the whole pancake should move freely.turn over and cook the over side. You may need to add butter in between pancakes to help cook, never use oil. For the true american style stack the pancakes high and pour over syrup.
