Cooking & Baking ~ Pancakes

 Pancakes

Pancakes are one of my favourite breakfast choices, if you have been watching my vlogs you may have noticed that I tend to make them quite often, and if any of you have been watching my vlogs recently, you'll be aware of the fact I have perfected my American Style Fluffy pancakes courtesy of Jamie Oliver's easy to follow recipe, this recipe I found on Zoella's site at https://www.zoella.co.uk/ and it has quickly became my go to pancake recipe. Once you have made your pancakes and have them plated and ready to go, the exciting bit is filling, stacking and decorating them. Enjoy!

Servings: 9 Large Pancakes | Prep time: 5 Minutes  | Cook time: 10 Minutes | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

You will need; 

6 Large Free Range Eggs

230g Plain Flour

2 Heaped Teaspoons Baking Powder

280ml Milk

2 Pinches Salt

Method:

Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place in separate bowls. Whisk egg whites with salt until it has formed stiff peaks (i use  a hand mixer to save time). In the other bowl, add sifted flour to egg yolks, followed by baking powder and milk. Beat together until mixed well. Fold the egg white mixture into this bowl, being careful not to lose too much air so it stays fluffy and whipped. Using a ladle, spoon the mixture into a non-stick frying pan on a medium to low heat (too hot and the pancakes won't cook properly throughout and will burn in places). I don't use butter or oil, I just make sure my pan is pancake friendly so it won't stick. After a couple of minutes if you notice little bubbles popping to the surface, it's about time to flip the pancake. I use a plastic spatula and make sure the pancake has loosened from the pan before flipping. The pancakes should be an even golden colour.

From watching Zoe's vlogs I have decided to display my pancakes as a stack and place in the centre of the table for everyone to enjoy.

 Below I have attached some pictures and videos of some pancakes that I had made and how I topped them.
