    "Ingredients

    Serves: 6

    450ml (16 fl oz) semi skimmed milk

    150g (5 oz) caster sugar

    2 eggs

    1 teaspoon vegetable oil

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    250g (9 oz) plain flour

    1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder"

    I use whole milk or coffee cream, I also use melted butter rather than veggie oil. Add a half teaspoon of salt to that or the pancakes will taste like they were made in a hospital kitchen!!

    That is way way too much baking powder!! Only about half a tablespoon of baking powder to that much flour!!

    you may need a bit more milk than that! I like the pancake batter thin enough to pour easily, about like white school glue but not as thin as crepes!

    Follow the directions on the package and add a little flavoring like vanilla or cinnamon.

    So many of the boxed mixes just aren't good. They might make pancakes, but not any that don't taste like cardboard.

    The only one I buy is Krusteaz pancake mix. But only if we're going on a vacation.

    The homemade ones are go easy that it's not hard to make. I prefer buttermilk pancakes, but the milk ones will do.

    When I want to get all fancy, I make pumpkin pecan ones. Good, too.

    You don't say what country you're in. Just google American pancakes and get measurements. For those measurements:

    FLUFFY AMERICAN PANCAKES

    INGREDIENTS

    1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

    2 tablespoons sugar

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 cup milk

    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil

    1 large egg

    1 tablespoon vegetable oil

    Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).

    Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.

    For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).

    Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.

    AMERICAN BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

    Ingredients

    200g self-raising flour

    1 tsp baking powder

    1 egg

    300ml milk

    knob butter

    150g pack blueberries

    sunflower oil or a little butter for cooking

    golden or maple syrup

    Method

    Mix together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Beat the egg with the milk, make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk in the milk to make a thick smooth batter. Beat in the melted butter, and gently stir in half the blueberries.

    Heat a teaspoon of oil or small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Drop a large tablespoonful of the batter per pancake into the pan to make pancakes about 7.5cm across. Make three or four pancakes at a time. Cook for about 3 minutes over a medium heat until small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden. Cover with kitchen paper to keep warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Serve with golden syrup and the rest of the blueberries.

    AMERICAN-APPLE AND CRANBERRY PANCAKES

    Ingredients

    300g self-raising flour

    1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

    2 medium eggs

    284ml carton buttermilk

    4 tbsp milk

    85g melted butter

    2 small-medium eating apples, peeled, cored and grated

    50g dried cranberries

    a little more butter or sunflower oil, for frying

    maple syrup, to serve

    For the cinnamon butter

    85g softened salted butter

    1 tsp cinnamon

    2 tsp caster sugar

    Method

    To make the cinnamon butter, mix all the ingredients together, wrap in cling film, shape into a log and chill. You can make this up to 3 days ahead.

    Mix the flour, bicarb and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre, then gradually whisk in the eggs, followed by the buttermilk, milk and melted butter. Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the grated apples and cranberries.

    Melt a little more butter in a non-stick pan or wipe with sunflower oil. When hot, add 1-3 small ladles of batter to the pan to make 1-3 small pancakes (depending on the size of your pan). Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles appear and the underneaths are set and golden. Flip and cook for a few mins more. Transfer pancakes to a plate, cover with baking parchment and keep warm in a low oven. Cook the remaining pancakes.

    To serve, stack pancakes on plates, top with a good knob of cinnamon butter and drizzle with maple syrup.
