American-style pancakes for brunch
I had some leftover bacon in the fridge today, so I thought of making American-style pancakes and serving the bacon with it for brunch. I made the pancakes using Jamie Oliver's "Pancakes USA Stylie" recipe which I found on his website.
Each pancake took less than a minute to cook, and they turned out ultra fluffy and eggy. If you prefer it to be less eggy, you can reduce the eggs from three to two. I wanted to buy maple syrup last weekend from the supermarket but I couldn't find any (they must have ran out) so I drizzled lots of honey on my pancakes instead. Worked a treat with the salty, crispy streaky bacon. You can also top your pancakes with blueberries, strawberries (in fact any type of fresh fruits), whipped cream, butter, salted caramel (I'll have to try that soon), fresh corn off the cob, or grated chocolate. My kids liked them with strawberry jam. I really liked this pancake recipe, so I will definitely be using it again in the future.
American-style pancakes with bacon and honey
Recipe adapted from Jamie Oliver' website
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
Makes 8
Ingredients
3 large eggs, at room temperature
115g plain flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder, sifted
140ml full cream milk
A pinch of salt
1 tbsp of caster sugar (not in original recipe so this is optional)
Honey (or preferably maple syrup)
4 rashers of streaky bacon, cooked in a separate pan until crispy
1.First, separate the eggs, putting the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another.
2. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the yolks and mix to a smooth thick batter.
3. Whisk the whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks. You can use an electric whisk, so this can be done in no time at all.
4. Fold the egg whites gently into the batter it is now ready to use.
5. Heat a good non-stick pan on medium heat. Using a ladle, pour some of your batter into the pan and fry until it starts to look golden and firm, then flip the pancake over and continue frying until both sides are golden.
6. Place pancakes on a plate (stack 'em up if you like) and then place a piece of bacon on top. Drizzle with(or maple syrup) and dust with some icing sugar. Serve immediately.

My kids loved their smiley brunch :)
You can also serve the pancakes with a strawberry jam/compote
