Basic Pancakes

basic pancakes

[ID: A photo of a pile of fat pancakes I made, on a white plate. End ID]

i’ve spent the past few weeks in quarantine figuring out pancakes! thought I’d share my preferred method <3

INGREDIENTS:

125g all-purpose/plain flour

2tbsp sugar

2tsp baking powder

250ml milk

2tbsp vegetable oil + extra for frying

1 large egg

your favourite toppings!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl

In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the milk, oil and egg

Slowly add the dry mixture to the liquid, whisking as you go

When your batter is ready, heat your frying pan and grease with oil (stick to a low-medium heat - if your pan is too hot the edges might burn before the batter is fully cooked)

Pour a dollop of batter onto the pan, be careful, it spreads quick!

Fry the pancake until it begins to bubble on the top - you can use your spatula to peek under the batter and see if the side is cooked

Flip the pancake carefully onto the other side and cook until browned again

When your pancake is ready transfer to a plate - covering with foil helps to keep them warm whilst you fry the others

Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!
