Fluffy pancakes are a lovely breakfast on a weekend morning but can also be served as an after school snack. They are similar to American pancakes in looks but don’t contain buttermilk and the egg whites are whipped to add some extra fluffiness.

They are a favourite with my nieces and nephews and I often make them for brunch when a gang comes over. I serve them with fruit and of course the kids love to spread some Nutella on them.
