My last post was about baking and this one is not very different I'm afraid. Cooking is something that is dominating most of my spare time recently and I am really getting into developing my recipes.
This weekend just gone I set myself the task of making American pancakes (gluten free ones) and serving them with streaky bacon and maple syrup.
The first challenge was getting the recipe right, I wanted them to be small and fluff, not thin and flat like traditional pancakes. This was mainly about the flour and my first attempt was a bit unsuccessful...I also failed to find maple syrup and had to make do with golden syrup, good, but not the same!
The next day I found a better recipe, the secret is using plain flour a generous dose of baking powder. I also replaced the milk with buttermilk. This gives you more of a thick batter than a mixture and its a lot better for you!
The second batch were so much more successful with my new recipe and everyone was pretty happy!
I even managed to track down proper maple syrup in the supermarket! which was incredibly...the fact that it cost £9:00 is slightly less so :(
Let me know if you have an amazing american pancake recipe, or if you give this one a go?
Thank you for reading :)
