Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams self-raising flour
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 150 ml whole milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 10 grams butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and the pinch of salt.
Add the caster sugar to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk to the egg and mix well.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Gradually pour in the egg and milk mixture, stirring constantly to form a thick, smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter using a paper towel.
Using a tablespoon, drop small amounts of batter onto the hot pan, spacing them apart as the pancakes will spread slightly.
Cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1 minute until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve warm with butter, jam, syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
