Equipment
- 1 Medium sized mixing bowl
- 1 Sifter
- 1 Wooden spoon
- 1 Pancake pan or Crepe pan or flat frying pan
- 1 Silicon flexible turner
Ingredients
- 2 cups self raising flour Note 1
- 2 cups milk
- 2 egg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 50 grams butter chopped into small cubes, Note 2
Pancake Toppings
- maple syrup
- butter
Instructions
- Make the batter: add the self-raising flour, milk, egg and salt to a medium sizing mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir till consistently combined.
- Cook the pancakes: spray a crepe pan with cooking oil. Turn the stove onto medium heat. Then use a ¼ measuring cup to spoon the batter onto the pan. Allow the pancake to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Once bubbles form in the centre of the pancake, use a silicon turner to flip to the other side. Then cook that side for 1 to 2 mins.
- Stack the pancakes: once cooked, remove and place on plate, begin to make a stack of pancakes.
- Add the toppings: pour maple syrup over the stack and add a nob or 2 of butter.
- Serve and enjoy: present the stack to the table as a feature and provide additional plates, forks and toppings. Once portioned, eaters can re top their pancakes and or add additional pancakes as they wish.
Notes
- Note 1 - Self-raising flour: you have the option to sift this ingredient as a measure to remove any lumps in the batter. The other option is to skip sifting it, but then ensure that the batter is thoroughly combined and there are no clumps of flour. A whisk is a handy way of achieving this.
- Note 2 - Milk: if you want to use you preferred type of milk, you can. Measure to the equivalent amount listed, ie 2 cups.
- Note 3 - Eggs: 2 fresh free range eggs, standard size, not extra large (this will be listed on the egg cartoon).
- Note 4 - Butter: this butter is to ensure crispy edges on the pancakes. If you look at my instructions photos, you can see that one of the steps is to add small butter cubes to the pan as the pancakes cook. The butter sizzles, melts and merges with the pancake edges making them golden brown and crispy. Without this technique the pancakes will still cook, but their edges won't go crispy.
- Note on recipe size: want to make a smaller batch? You can. Use 1 cup of Self-raising flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This will make approximately 4 pancakes.
