My Name Is Eric

Lately I've been cooking pancake breakfasts on the weekends. North American, fluffy style pancakes. And they are smothered with pure Canadian maple syrup, whipped cream and fruits. It's amazing.



In Norway you mostly find less fluffy, flatter pancakes, similar to a crepe. They're still tasty, but in my opinion, cannot match good heavy North American pancakes.



I thought I'd share the recipe for my pancakes here. I've had to improvise a little bit since I cannot find liquid vanilla here, so I've had to use vanilla sugar instead.

The Recipe

1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp vanilla sugar (substitute for liquid vanilla if possible)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tbsp melted butter

Basically you mix everything together in a big bowl and whisk it until you get a smooth mixture. It's better if you mix all the dry ingredients first and then add the liquids to it.

Heat a pan to medium heat and pour a spoonful of pancake mix onto the pan. Wait until you see bubbles popping on the top of the mixture, and then flip the pancake over in the pan. Wait another minute or so and then remove the pancake from the pan. Repeat numerous times. You should get around 6 pancakes from this recipe.

When serving be sure to have a good mix of syrups, whipped cream and fruits.
