Have you ever had IHOP Pancakes before? Well they are fluffy and soft and well just awesome. So my turn to re-create this babies! It's only taken me about one year of sunday pancakes to perfect the final recipe, and I've done it! Now to the point that these are too good and not helping with my weight-loss journey!
American and Canadian are made of thick batter contains eggs, flour, milk, and a raising agent such as baking powder. A known ingredient is buttermilk. Buttermilk is the liquid left over from churning the butter from the cream. Acidified buttermilk is made by adding acid to the milk usually lemon juice or vinegar and allow to sit until it curdles slightly usually about 5 minutes or so. You can buy in the supermarket but I tend to just use milk with vinegar as works just as well.
Pancakes is one things the Americans have got it right, I'm a pancake girl and so is my son, where are by husband and daughter prefer the crêpe style thin french pancakes.
I've made basic simple pancakes but you can add blueberries, chocolate chips or spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancakes to add additional flavour.
I'm hoping the photos will do some justice as these where very fluffy thick style pancakes, soft and indulgent, with a lashing of Aunt Jemima butter syrup you can't wrong.
