Breakfast Pancakes

Serve them with maple syrup & crisp bacon for an American-style breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of caster sugar
  • 2 medium sized eggs, beaten
  • 300ml buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons oil

Step by step guide

  1. Sieve the dry ingredients into a bowl and then whisk in the egg, buttermilk (or milk and water) and melted butter.
  2. Leave the batter to rest for a few minutes while you prepare the frying pan.
  3. Wipe the pan with half of the oil and heat until hot. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan (it should set immediately in a rough circle). Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the pancake has bubbled and is brown on the underside. Flip it over and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Continue with the remaining batter, re-oiling the pan as needed. You may be able to cook several pancakes at once, depending on the size of your pan.
  5. Serve drizzled with maple syrup.
