How To Make Classic American Pancake | Classic American Pancake Recipe:
A pancake is basically a flat, round cake prepared from a starch-based batter made with maida, egg, milk and baking powder. While you might think having maida early in the morning is not that healthy, we say, it is absolutely okay to indulge once in a while. So, without further ado, let's jump into the recipe.
For this particular recipe, we need maida, baking powder, salt, sugar, milk, eggs and butter. You may also sprinkle some cinnamon powder and vanilla essence for some added flavours. Now, mix everything together until you get a smooth and silky batter. Heat a pan and grease it. Pour a ladleful of batter on the pan and cook on medium flame until each side turns golden brown in colour. Your pancakes are ready. Now, garnish with maple syrup, melted butter, powdered sugar and fresh berries and voila!
