Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g plain flour / all purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • small pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 200 ml milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • unsalted butter (for frying the pancakes)

Instructions
 

  • Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl and add the other dry ingredients.
    200 g plain flour / all purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, small pinch salt, 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • Measure out the milk and add the eggs to the measuring jug. Whisk to combine.
    200 ml milk, 2 large eggs
  • Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together to make a smooth batter.
  • Heat a frying pan on a medium heat. When it's warm add a teaspoon of butter and let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
    unsalted butter
  • Add a large spoonful of the pancake batter to the pan.
  • The pancake is ready to flip when bubbles appear on the top.
  • Cook the other side and the pancake is ready to serve. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.

Notes

  • Pancakes need a medium heat to cook but you will need to watch it to make sure it's not cooking too quickly. Adjust to creat beautifully golden brown pancakes.
  • Pancake batter is best used when you make it. It will help the pancakes remain fluffy.
  • Serve with your favourite toppings. I love fresh fruit and my husband loves bacon with a drizzle of maple syrup!
