A recipe for delicious pancakes

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups/300g of all-purpose flour 

• 4 teaspoons of baking powder 

• ¼ cup/55g white sugar 

• Pinch of salt 

• 1 egg 

• 1 ¾ cups/435ml of milk 

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or essence 

• 4 teaspoons of butter 

Method: 

• Place flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, whisk to combine. 

• Add egg, milk and vanilla. Whisk until lump free - no longer than 30 seconds. 

• Heat a non-stick skillet - use medium heat if you have a strong stove, medium high if you have a weak one. Add a tiny bit of butter (about 1/2 tsp) and swirl to melt. Use paper towel to mostly wipe the butter off (this is the trick to avoid a dodgy 1st pancake). 

• Pour 1/4 cup batter into the middle of the fry pan (I use a slightly heaped ice cream scoop with lever, standard is 1/4 cup). 

• Swirl pan lightly to spread or use the ice cream scoop edge to spread into 11cm / 4.5" circle (ruler is a must) (joking!). 

• When bubbles rise to the surface (see video), flip and cook the other side until golden. 

• Remove and keep warm in a low oven. 

• Use more butter every 2 to 3 pancakes - depends how good your non-stick coating is. 

• Serve with your choice of toppings
