Sticky American Pancakes

Carefully sift the flour into a mixing bowl.

Add in the sugar and mix together. Make a well in the centre of the mixture.

In a jug, lightly whisk the egg and milk together.

Pour the egg and milk into the well and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Lightly grease a frying pan or griddle and preheat to a medium heat.

Carefully drop 3 separate tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, keeping them well apart.

When golden brown, flip them over and cook the other side too.

If stacked between layers of kitchen paper, this will keep them warm and moist until the all others have been cooked.

Serve with a little butter, jam or golden syrup. A scoop of ice-cream can also make it more special.
