Pancakes

Ingredients

100 grms of plain flour

2 tbsp. sugar

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

4-6 mls milk

1 dess sp. vanilla extract

3 tbsp. butter, melted

1 large egg

Vegetable/olive oil for brushing pan

Method

• Mix in a large bowl flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, butter, vanilla extract and egg; stir until flour is moistened.

• Heat 12-inch non stick pan or griddle over medium heat until drop of water sizzles; brush lightly with oil. In batches, scoop batter by scant 1/4-cupfuls into skillet, spreading to 3 1/2 inches each. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly and edges are dry. With a spatula, turn; cook 2 minutes more or until golden. Transfer to platter or keep warm on a cookie sheet in 225°F oven.

• Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan/griddle with more oil if necessary.

• If making savoury pancakes leave out the vanilla extract! Treat them like an omelette and use that range of fillings for your pancakes;

- Cheese and ham/bacon

- Chicken and ham/bacon

- Tomatoes and onion slices

TOP TIP! When clearing up fill the mixing bowl with cold water before washing as the hot water will cook the flour to the bowl!
