Easy Peasy American Pancakes
Makes 8-10
6 tsp butter
280g self-raising flour
1tsp salt
4 tbsp caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
250ml milk
6-8 rashers of bacon
1tsp vegetable oil
Golden syrup, to serve
Preheat the oven to 150C/Gas 2.
Heat 5 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then set aside.
Sieve the flour into a large bowl. Add the salt and sugar.
Add the melted butter to the beaten eggs, then make a well in the flour mixture and add the milk, then the egg and butter mixture, whisking with a hand whisk to beat through any lumps.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a frying pan, then add a ladleful of batter. It should be about 1cm thick. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Keep the pancakes warm on a plate in the oven while you cook the rest of the batch.
Meanwhile fry the bacon in the oil until crispy, then layer between the pancakes. Drizzle with golden syrup and serve.
