Americans like their pancakes more... cakey... than we do traditionally, but to be fair they taste pretty awesome when covered in syrup or honey. Although traditionally served at breakfast, they make a good dessert too.
They're quick and easy to make, although if your pans are small, you may want a couple of pans on the go at once so that you can make several pancakes at a time
The measurements here will make around 10 pancakes
We don't really have/see Sloppy Joes here, they're very much a US thing, so I thought I'd give them a go. Simple to cook and make, and taste much better than they look, even if they are a little messy to eat
Using Chipotle instead of the barbecue sauce is a good improvement, or simply piling some jalapeno slaw into the bun with it. Serve with a bowl of chips and some salad
True American style would use cheese slices rather than cheddar, but I wanted proper cheese flavour in there.
