American pancakes, also known as hotcakes, are fluffy, slightly sweet pancakes from the United States. They’re a popular breakfast and can be served with all kinds of toppings, such as fruit, butter and maple syrup.
To make American pancakes, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, egg and melted butter into a smooth batter. Pour the batter into a hot pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip to cook the other side.
You can make American pancakes in different sizes and thicknesses to suit your taste. They’re a quick, easy breakfast or brunch and can be customized with different ingredients, such as chocolate, nuts or fresh fruit.
