Be sure you're using SELF RISING flour (or adding baking soda/powder) to make them into a real fluffy American pancake. I never add butter to mine and have never seen anyone do that, but a bit of oil/butter in the pan to keep them from sticking is pretty essential.

Oh, and BUTTERMILK when you can find it makes it a good Southern US variation...they're much better with it.

does it actually take 8 hours to cook, or was that just a mistake?

by Ellenfoster. on Thu Aug 20 2009 reply to this comment
it took me about 10 mins to make the batter and then the cooking took about 3 mins per pancake.

Hi Ellen,

Thanks for spotting (and I have amended the recipe cooking time)- no this was a mistake and usually takes about 5 mins depending on how hot the pan is.
Thanks again

Helga
