🔗I couldn’t leave Philly without trying Delerium’s cinnamon pancakes. She told me the recipe is based on the one for Wholegrain Griddle Cakes from The Joy of Cooking by Irma S Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker (1931; Signet 1964, Congress 61-7902), but the proportions she said are ‘adapted’.

Enough for 14 of the 4″ pancakes you get at breakfast in America.
Separate the eggs, beat whites until stiff (as it says in the Black BDSM Cookbook 😐.
Sift the dry ingredients together.
Add the yolks to the milk, whisk in the butter.
Mix the liquid into the dry mixture, then fold in the whites. Don’t over-beat or the mixture will subside.
Heat a pan over a medium flame, add a knob of butter and pour in enough batter for one pancake. Cook about 3 mins per side (this will vary according to how you personally like your pancakes cooked).
Serve with your favourite syrup or other additions.
‘Double-acting’ baking-powder is a US thing: it causes a rise to start when the mixture first gets wet, and then another when it gets baked. I don’t think there is any equivalent outside North America.

In some countries, iodine is added to salt for public health reasons. In Ireland we are an island with a large fish and dairy component to our diet, so our salt has no iodine added, but when I mention salt, feel free to substitute whatever kind of salt your requirements dictate.
In the UK, Ireland, and related cultures, ‘syrup’ means refiner’s or ‘golden’ sugar syrup, which is very thick and sticky and incredibly sweet. In the US and its related cultures, it means corn or other high-fructose syrup, which is liquid and less sweet. In Canada, Vermont, etc, of course, it can only mean maple syrup. According to taste, pretty much all of them work — they just have different tastes. If you use a liquid syrup, use less of it because the higher water content may change the texture of the recipe.
Ireland is on GMT (UTC), one hour behind Central European, five hours ahead of Eastern, eight hours ahead of Pacific, and 8–12 hours behind Oz/NZ, depending on location. We love to get your calls, but at 4am our time we’re likely to be asleep.
