To celebrate Pancake Day 2022, our lovely volunteer Elena Kassis at FoodCycle Monkchester Road has kindly shared her failsafe American pancake recipe which has been tried and tested on our Newcastle guests. She suggests serving with maple syrup and fresh blackberries but feel free to use any other leftover fruit you fancy…
Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
200g self-raising flour
1bsp golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
200ml milk
25g melted butter
vegetable oil, for cooking
Method
- Mix dry ingredients with a pinch of salt in a large bowl
- Create a well in the centre and add eggs, milk and melted butter

- Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until tiny bubbles start to form on the surface of the batter
- Enjoy!
