American pancakes
by
There's nothing like a thick, fluffy pancake for breakfast, and Shaun Rankin's American pancake recipe works wonderfully as a weekend treat for adults and children. If needed, you can pre-cook the pancakes and just flash them for 10-20 seconds in the microwave to reheat when you want to serve - great for large family occasions.
