American Style Pancakes….

AKA – Them ones that MacDonalds make

Don’t you just love kids and their honesty? I told them that we were having pancakes for breakfast this morning and they had the cheek to say they would rather go to MacDonalds! Apparently, MacDonalds pancakes are much nicer than mine.

Never one to be outdone, I decided that I was going to make MacDonald’s stlye pancakes better than even MacDonalds could make them so I sent them off to play on the Wii and turned to my trusty cookbook collection for some inspiration. After all, I have about a million so I knew one of them would have a recipe in it that would do….

Three hundred recipes later, Nigella came up trumps and I found a recipe that looked like it would compete with MacDonalds.

American Style Pancakes
30g (2 tablespoons) butter
225g plain flour
2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
pinch of salt
300 ml milk
2 eggs

Melt the butter and leave it to one side to cool slightly.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together.
Beat the eggs, mill and melted butter together and pour it into the mixture.
Mix it together until there are no lumps in the mixture.
Heat some butter into a frying pan and spoon a dollop of the mixture into the hot pan.
When its done underneath turn it over and cook the other side.
Serve to children and await their response as to whether your verions beats MacDonalds.

The Verdicts – ‘Way better than MacDonalds’ and ‘Awesome’

IMHO...most killer Honey Lemonade Recipe: 1/2 gallon warm water, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice. Just mix it all with your hands (their warmth will disolve the honey and sugar) and pour mixture into a gallon container filled 3/4 with ice. You can even add a slice of fresh ginger for a little extra asian kick.

I'm originally from Wales UK but moved to Canada in 98. Nobody here makes pancakes the right way, there more like fluffy potato cake.
But they do make something called a Beaver Tail that's very nice, more like a deep fried pancake.

Thanks for sharing the recipe. Throw in a bunch of fresh fruits instead of using syrup and you've just made a healthier breakfast for your kids.

If your hose is too short, or you want a longer power

cable, you can probably get replacements, rather than having to buy a new

cleaner. As can be seen from the above applications, cleaners

of this type have a wide variety of uses. Before you purchase,

though, always make sure that these universal tools will work with the cleaner you

have at home.
