Pancakes - the American breakfast classic

Carine Buhmann on America's Pancake Traditions

"Pancakes are just perfect for Sunday breakfast!" That's what cookbook author Carine Buhmann says. "I prefer to eat these little pancakes in a very classic way with maple syrup and blueberries," she tells us as she prepares the ingredients. Today, there's a gluten-free version to try.

We're curious and learn from her that pancakes are a true cultural heritage in the USA. They even celebrate National Pancake Day. On this day, charity events are organized, and family, friends, and neighbors gather for a cozy pancake meal.

Reason enough for us to pay more attention to these delicious pancakes! Carine Buhmann has now prepared the batter and is baking small cakes in the pan until they turn golden brown. "Pancakes become even fluffier if you separate the eggs and gently fold the egg whites into the batter," she tells us.

Traditionally, pancakes are only drizzled with maple syrup, but there are numerous variations for toppings. Following the motto: What tastes good, fits well - for example, with berries, banana slices, fruit compote, nut-nougat cream, chocolate chips, or with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

We stick to the classic and enjoy the finished pancakes American-style.

"When I need to hurry in the morning, I simply let the batter ingredients mix briefly in the Novis ProBlender, and I can already bake delicious pancakes in the pan."
