How to cook it
-
Whisk the flour, baking powder and sugar together in a bowl.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk just until smooth, leaving a few small lumps rather than overmixing.
-
Heat a little butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat and pour in rounds of batter about half an inch thick, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until tall, evenly browned and cooked through.
-
Stack on plates with a pat of the remaining butter melting on top and drizzle with the honey, the tall, thick weekend hotcake a Japanese family often makes from a boxed mix.
