These are called Canadian Pancakes to differentiate them from the Crepes, which are also called Pancakes in the UK. They are similar to Scottish Pancakes but are larger and served hot.

- When the bubbles on the top disappear - flip it using a spatula.
- Cook it for another minute and serve.
Tips
- These are best served with butter and maple syrup
- If you want the pancakes to look even more golden and taste better, add a drizzle of golden syrup to the mix.
- Alternatively bananas can be sliced thinly into the pancake after the initial pour (chocolate can also be crumbled over for a decadent choice)
- You can also use strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla syrup as a topping.
- Add blueberries to the pancakes while cooking.
- The test pancake only needs roughly one inch of batter - it should be golden brown
Warnings
- If the test pancake sticks, take a paper towel with a small amount of oil on it and rub this over the cooking surface of the pan. Importantly, no oil should be in the pan when the pancake goes in.
