American or Canadian pancakes (also called “hotcakes” or “flapjacks” in the USA) contain baking powder and varying amounts of eggs, flour and milk that are kneaded into a thick dough. Cinnamon and sugar can also be added. The dough is scooped or poured onto a hot surface and forms a circle about 1 cm thick. When the leavening agent creates bubbles on the undried side of the pancake, it's time to turn the pancake. These very light pancakes are often served for breakfast and garnished with maple syrup, butter, peanut butter, jelly, jam or fruit. They are light, airy pancakes that anyone can prepare. The recipe makes a large amount of batter, and if you don't use it right away, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. The dough lasts there for three days.
