Its time for Eat like a king - pay like a pauper. you like to eat nice food right? Who doesn't? Why should you pay silly amounts to cook them though, in this I review all the ingredients needed and there price on the three major supermarkets Tesco, Asda and sainsburys.




Mmm I love American pancakes, with chocolate or blueberry :q.

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a bowl.
Mix the milk, eggs and melted butter in a large jug, then add the flour mixture and mix quickly to make a batter (don't worry about lumps - they're good). Alternatively, make the batter in a bowl and transfer to a jug.
Heat a cast iron frying pan or flat-surfaced griddle until medium-hot, grease lightly with extra butter and pour in the batter in batches to make rounds, 8-10cm/3-4in diameter.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the underside is golden, then flip each one over and cook for one minute. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven while you cook the remaining batches.
To make the maple butter syrup, heat the maple syrup and butter together in a small saucepan or microwave.
Stack the pancakes on warmed plates and pour over the buttery syrup to serve.
