Pancake day was this week in the UK and it reminded me that I had not made American Pancakes in quite some time... something I rectified immediately this weekend :) These pancakes are a great Saturday morning treat, taste amazing, and are ridiculously easy to make. You can make them plain, or add blueberries for a real wow factor. I once experimented with making these gluten free, by using cornflour, and it worked well - though since cornflour has a distinctive taste, it is best to add blueberries or other fruits.
When cooking, the mixture will spread out before rising, so it helps to use a small pan. This is particularly true if using cornflour as the batter will be thinner. Serve these with maple syrup - or if you don't want to shell out for it as its pricey, golden syrup also tastes great.
Edit: A commenter on the blog suggested that buckwheat flour is a good alternative for those wanting a gluten free option, so you may want to use this instead of cornflour; I may be experimenting with it myself in the future!
