Flapjacks– American style pancakes

Yay! International Pancake day! What a great day to celebrate this all time family favourite.

The American pancake is different from the ‘European’ pancake. Besides the size, the ingredients are different too; where the American pancakes or Flapjacks are made with self-rising flour the European variety is made with plain flour, milk and eggs, this is why the flapjacks are so nice and fluffy ☺.
We celebrated International Pancake Day 2014 in style: choose to make flapjacks and give them a bit of a Caribbean twist.  Add syrup or runny honey to taste.
