Enjoy these fluffy and delicious British-style pancakes, perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch.
Combine the milk, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Allowing the milk mixture to rest helps activate the leavening agents for fluffier pancakes.
In another bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Add the egg and the milk mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes light and airy.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour a portion of the batter onto the pan.
Cook pancakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
Flip the pancake when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Use a thin spatula for easy flipping without breaking the pancakes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, or powdered sugar.
Warm the syrup slightly before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
