American-style pancakes make a lovely treat for breakfast but can be time-consuming to prepare. For this recipe, I make four large pancakes rather than 12 small ones and serve them topped with lots of berries and a dribble of maple syrup.
Servings: 4
Calories: 247 kcal

Ingredients

  • 175g self-raising flour
  • ½tsp baking powder
  • 275ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 eating apple (around 140g), peeled, cored and coarsely grated
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1tbsp caster sugar
  • oil , for spraying or brushing
  • 250g mixed fresh or frozen and thawed berries
  • 2tbsp maple syrup or clear honey

Method

  1. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir the milk slowly and gradually into the flour mixture, then beat hard with a metal whisk to get rid of any lumps. Stir the grated apple into the batter.

  2. Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff but not dry. Whisk in the caster sugar. Fold a quarter of the whisked egg whites into the pancake batter with a large, metal spoon until evenly combined, then very gently fold in the rest. You want to try and keep as much air in the pancakes as possible, so they are light and fluffy when you cook them.

  3. Spray or brush a medium non-stick frying pan with a little oil and place over a medium-high heat. Ladle a quarter of the mixture into the frying pan.

  4. Cook the pancake for 2 ½ minutes on one side, or until the surface looks almost dry and you can see small air bubbles rising to the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook on the other side for a further 2 ½ minutes until puffed up and lightly browned.

  5. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Cook the three remaining pancakes in exactly the same way. Serve the hot pancakes topped with plenty of fresh fruit and dribble with maple syrup or honey.

Recipe Notes

To freeze

Open freeze the cooled pancakes. Once solid, place in a large zip seal bag, label and freeze for up to 1 month. To serve, heat through in a dry non-stick pan over low heat or microwave for a few seconds, until piping hot.

Feeling like a break from all that festive food? T Feeling like a break from all that festive food? This roasted veg salad may be just what you need. I’ve topped it with yoghurt that I’ve strained overnight in the fridge until it’s really thick - it’s lighter than cheese and is the perfect addition to a warm salad. I’ve sprinkled the salad with a few mixed seeds, added some leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. An easy way to kick off a healthy 2021! 🥗

It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's one I made in the test kitchen. Eat at home or on the go. To avoid soggy leaves, put the dressing in first and the leaves last, then only toss – or tip – when you are ready to serve 🌞
