Pancakes, Y'all...

[DanaC]

Hmmm. I doubt they're the same. Let me check

135g/4¾oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp caster sugar
130ml/4½fl oz milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp melted butter (allowed to cool slightly) or olive oil, plus extra for cooking

To serve
maple syrup
butter

110g/4oz plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
2 eggs
200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
50g/2oz butter

To serve:

caster sugar
lemon juice
lemon wedges

Thought so. No the main difference is the use of baking powder. The last thing you want with anEnglish pancake is for it to rise or go at all fluffy: hence the phrase 'flat as a pancake' :P The other big difference is we don't sweeten the pancake mix. The sugar is added as a topping afterwards. Without the sweet topping the finished pancake is actually completely savoury. Also the ratio of egg to flour is different, as is the quantity of milk.
