Make me pancakes, now! Mr N lovingly obliged and set to it. Not that it took a lot of convincing. He loves pancakes just as much as I do.
The only demand this time was that I wanted them fluffy. Something went horribly wrong when I made American pancakes last time and they were less than satisfactory. My fault entirely. I think I am just trained too well in the art of making thin and crepe like Swedish pancakes with no raising agent.
Anyway, the secret to making extra fluffy American pancakes is this: eggwhites. Folded into the batter at the last moment it makes divine, light as air pancakes. Jamie Oliver has a great recipe for an everyday version. The addition of blueberries makes them even better. If you have them at hand.
