PANCAKE SYRUP
My husband has fond memories of this pancake syrup recipe. Every Sunday morning, his dad would get up early to make the family pancakes and homemade syrup. They didn't have much money, but the kids never knew that. What they do remember is that their dad always had time to make their Sundays extra special. -Lorrie McCurdy, Farmington, New Mexico

Steps:
- Mix 200g self-raising flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
- Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add 3 large eggs, 25g melted butter and 200ml milk.
- Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
- Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy, pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don't put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking. Cook the pancakes on one side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
- Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favourite toppings.

Steps:
- Make the pancake batter up to a day ahead, or just before cooking. Tip the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and 2 tsp sugar into a bowl, add a good pinch of salt and combine with a whisk. Add the eggs, buttermilk or yogurt and milk to the bowl and whisk into a smooth batter. If making ahead, cover and chill until ready to cook.
- Tip the blueberries, cherries, cornflour, 2 tbsp sugar and the vanilla into a pan, and stir until the berries are coated in cornflour. Add 1 tbsp water, then place over a high heat and bubble for a minute or 2 until syrupy but the berries are still holding their shape. Set aside to cool, then remove the vanilla pod, if using. This is best served warm.
- Heat the grill to medium-high and arrange the bacon on a baking tray lined with foil. Set aside. If you have a separate oven, heat this to a low setting (50C/30C fan/gas ½) with a baking tray in it (this is to keep the pancakes warm as you cook them). If not, they can sit under the bacon, just keep a close eye on them.
- Heat a glug of oil in a large, heavy frying pan, wipe the oil around the pan with a piece of kitchen paper, leaving a fine coating of oil on the surface. Transfer the pancake batter to a jug. When the pan is hot but not smoking (keep it over a moderate heat) pour the batter into the pan, making 7-8cm pancakes, with plenty of space between them (you should fit three pancakes in at a time). The batter should sizzle a little as it hits the pan, but not aggressively - adjust the heat if you need to. Cook each pancake until the underside is golden; by this time bubbles should be appearing on the surface and the edges beginning to set, indicating that the pancake is ready to flip over. Use a fish slice to do this. They should take roughly 2 mins on each side. Transfer the pancakes to the warm baking tray. Wipe a little more oil around the pan and continue cooking the rest of the batter in this way. You should make 12 pancakes.
- When you're halfway through the batter, grill the bacon for 4-5 mins on each side until crispy.
- To serve, stack the pancakes with a dollop of mascarpone, bacon, and fruits between each layer, and serve with a jug of maple syrup.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh buttermilk, eggs, and flour will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, making your pancakes more tender.
- Use a well-seasoned griddle or frying pan. A well-seasoned griddle or frying pan will prevent your pancakes from sticking.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help to prevent your pancakes from burning.
- Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Pancakes are best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
American pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of pancakes that will be the perfect start to your day.
