Perfect American Pancakes step by step

1. Sift together all of the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt into a mixing bowl..
2. Melt the butter and beat the egg. Then add to the milk and whisk them all together..
3. Make a small depression in the mixing bowl of dry ingredients and pour in half of the milk mixture. Combine together with a balloon whisk. Don't worry if it looks super lumpy, that's fine at this point..
4. Add the remaining milk mixture and whisk all the ingredients together. The mixture should be think and smooth once mixed..
5. Cover and leave the mixture to stand for at least 10 minutes. This helps to make a fluffier pancake..
6. To cook the pancakes melt more butter in a frying pan, just enough to cover the base of the pan and place roughly 3 tbsp of mixture into the pan. (I have a large serving spoon which I usually use instead, pictured)..
7. Smooth the mixture into a circle filling in any gaps about 10 cm across. Leave in the pan until the edges of the pancake are starting to bubble and create air pockets (this take 3-5 minutes). Then flip the pancake to cook the other side (this takes another 3-5 minutes). Remove the cooked pancake from the pan and set aside..
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all the pancake mixture is gone..
9. Recommended serving of 3 pancakes per adult. I personally love this with some cinnamon and golden syrup or with fruit and yoghurt. But personalise and find your favourite flavours.
