If your pooch deserves some pampering, we’ve got the perfect dog treat recipe in mind - and these doggy pancakes are sure to get tails wagging. Whether it's a poochy brunch, celebration or just a weekend treat, there’s always time to spoil your furry friends.
Packed with banana and peanut butter, this homemade dog treat recipe will be a guaranteed favourite. These super-simple dog pancakes can also be frozen and enjoyed at a later time - just make sure they’re thoroughly defrosted and warmed in the microwave slightly before treating your dog.
These pancakes are perfectly safe for dogs to eat, but we recommend that you don’t overfeed them to your dog, or feed too many in one sitting, as they shouldn’t replace your dog’s usual food.

These super-simple, easy American-style pancakes are light, fluffy and perfect for an indulgent breakfast. Whip up our American pancake recipe in only 10 minutes, stack them and serve with syrup, bacon or fresh fruits.
<h3>What's the main difference between British and American pancakes?</h3>
The&nbsp;difference between British and American pancakes is that American-style pancakes use a raising agent - typically baking powder, whipped egg white, or both to make them thick and fluffy. We've used both in our recipe below.
<h3>How to get fluffy American pancakes:</h3>
We recommend doing the following to get super-fluffy pancakes:
- Allow your batter to rest before frying.
- Separate the egg yolk from the white initially. Beat your egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then combine the egg yolks with the rest of your ingredients - gently fold in the whipped egg whites last.
- Don't over-mix your batter, as you'll knock the bubbles out which causes the pancakes to rise. &nbsp;

Aebleskiver are solid like a pancake, but fluffy, light and round - and they're utterly delicious.
This recipe is taken from from Flipping Good! by Sudi Pigott.&nbsp;&nbsp;
