Fluffy pancakes

I went to make pancakes last night, but rather than the usual English flat pancakes I thought I'd try the fluffy American style ones.
The secret to these turns out to be baking powder and whipped egg whites, no massive surprise really. I used Jamie Olivers recipe, he has a fantastic back catalogue online, fair play to the owd mucker!

My only criticism of this recipe is that if you put sugar and butter in a pan to caramelise, a caramel sauce is not what you get. You need to melt the sugar first with a little water, then when it's turned slightly brown, add butter. It's even better when you add cream and make butterscotch sauce.

I put maple syrup on mine, because I had it.

Personally I prefer English pancakes, but these are worth a try and look pretty cool!
