Scotch pancakes

2 tsp caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
150 ml (5 fl oz) semi-skimmed milk
4 tsp sunflower oil

these two, on the other hand, seem pretty similar, except for less sugar in the Scotch variant. Merc's pic seems to bear this out. Taste tests will be carried out

I thought the American pancake originated in Scotland.
and I think we're all about the scotch pancakes here in the U.S.

I like mine with fruit or syrup. The 10 grain are especially good.

I've had crepe's, American Indian fry and an Indian breakfast pancake but there's nothing better than the original and best. pancake. mmm

oh and waffles too! esp Belgium style.
