Fluffy pancake recipes
Are you a fluffy pancakes fan? These pillowy delights are a classic served with maple syrup – and we have versions with bacon, gingerbread spicing and even a vegan blueberry pancakes recipe to quell your cravings.
Amercian-style fluffy pancakes partner well with sweet and savoury toppings: the choice is yours. These cottage cheese pancakes piled with crème fraîche and smoked trout make an epic weekend brunch, while we recommend this chocolate sauce-smothered stack with caramelised bananas to dessert lovers.
And have you tried soufflé pancakes? Like a traditional soufflé, these sky-high pancakes rely mostly on the airy power of whisked egg white to make them puff. Seriously impressive – and such fun to eat.
