Golden Wholegrain American-Style Pancakes

These delicious American-style pancakes are fluffy, light and sweeter in flavour. Made using our Golden Wholegrain flour – a 100% wholegrain flour that’s naturally high in fibre and lighter than regular wholemeal.

Makes 10-12

Ingredients

• 4 medium eggs
• 270g Golden Wholegrain Plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 240ml milk
• 60ml water
• 2 tbsp of sunflower or rapeseed oil – plus extra for frying

Topping

• Mixed berries
• Greek yoghurt or crème fraîche
• Maple syrup/icing sugar

Method

1.  Sift the flour, baking powder & bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl, add the bran left in the sieve back in, stir and make a well in the centre. Whisk the eggs and pour into the well, slowly combining the eggs with the flour. At this stage it will look lumpy.
2. Put the milk, water and 2 tbsp oil in a jug together and gradually add to the batter (making sure you bring in all the flour from the edges of the bowl), whisk by hand or ideally with an electric hand mixer, until you have a smooth, creamy and thick batter.
3. Heat a heavy frying pan and add a little oil – turn down to medium and add ¾ of a shallow ladle of mixture into the pan. Cook until the batter is set and the pancake starts to bubble, then flip over and cook for a further minute or so.
4. Once cooked, pile your pancakes onto a plate.
5. Serve with mixed berries and a spoonful of yogurt or crème fraiche. Add a dusting of icing sugar and maple syrup for a treat.
