Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 25 grams caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 150 milliliters milk
- 25 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the caster sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg-milk mixture. Gradually whisk from the center outwards, incorporating the flour until you have a smooth batter.
Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil, spreading evenly with a brush or paper towel.
Once the pan is hot, pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake, spacing them apart. You can usually cook 3-4 at a time, depending on your pan size.
Cook the pancakes for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and they are golden brown underneath. Flip them carefully with a spatula and cook the other side.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the Scotch pancakes warm with butter, jam, or your favorite syrup. Enjoy!
