Light Pancakes


You will need;

225g flour (roughly 3/4 cup)
2tsp baking powder
1tsp sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tbsp butter

As always I like to make my pancakes the night before but leaving it a few hours to rest and thicken will help too. You can of course use it right away but the batter will be more runny.

Pop the butter into a small dish and melt either on the stove or in the microwave. 15 seconds in the microwave will do it. Set aside to cool.

Simple as any. Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add your milk and give it a quick mix with a whisk. Add the two eggs and mix well. With the butter you have two options. You can put it in now or leave it until right before you'll be cooking. The only difference is if you're leaving it to rest, the butter will rise to the top in the fridge. No harm but be warned it may happen. A quick mix before cooking will fix all!

Cooking pancakes is the same as crepe below. These are much lighter so don't worry about how soft they will be. ONLY FLIP ONCE! Golden rule to keep pancakes light and fluffy.

Serve with honey or golden syrup and top with a fruit of your choice. We loves grapes in my house!


Enjoy!
