Food Fact

Everyone’s got a story of some legendary pancake toss, but in New York in 2010, one intrepid pancake flipper set the bar high (literally) with an awe-inspiring 31ft 1 in toss. (We neither recommend nor condone tossing your American-style pancakes 31ft in the air.)

Method:

  1. Mix the self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt together in a bowl or mixing jug. 
  2. Once mixed, make a well in the bowl and add the eggs, 25g of melted butter and the milk. 
  3. Whisk together until the batter is smooth. This is easiest with an electric whisk or hand beater, but you can do this with a wooden spoon if needed. Top tip: Once whisked, you can add some berries or chocolate chips into the batter if you wish. 
  1. Heat the last 5g of butter in a pan and cook your pancakes, flipping them once they are golden brown.
  2. Serve with your choice of topping.
