Scotch Pancake
Scotch Pancakes, a beloved breakfast staple in the United Kingdom, differ from thinner crêpes by being thicker and fluffier, much like their American counterparts. An integral part of traditional Scottish breakfasts, they are often enjoyed with butter and maple syrup. There's nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked Scotch Pancakes filling the kitchen on a chilly morning. The key to perfect pancakes lies in the proper cooking temperature and batter consistency, ensuring a soft yet light texture.
