American Pancakes

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour120 g, baking powder1½ tsp, salt1 pinch and sugar1 tbsp.

Separate the egg1, putting the white in a clean medium bowl. Whisk the milk250 ml and the yolk into the dry ingredients until smooth.

Whip the egg white until stiff, then gently fold it into the batter. (Skip this if you used buttermilk; the batter will be thick enough.)

Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and grease it with a little butter.

Pour in small ladles of batter, a few at a time. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges look dry and bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden. Repeat with the rest, buttering the pan as needed.

Serve warm with butter1 tbsp, maple syrup and berries.
