I know, I know, been ages since I added any new recipes. I promise to do so more frequently from now, since that will save me having to inbox them individually on fb =p
I've been making pancakes since I was a kid. I have always loved reading - the kids in my novels would always serve their mums breakfast in bed on Mum's Day, and it fascinated me no end. Back then I used to burn them EVERY time, so mum got burnt pancakes for Mother's Day breakfast. Of course, this hasn't happened in ages now, but this is what mum will always remember, no? She makes a crack about it every year: "What, no burnt pancakes? You obviously don't love me anymore" -.-
Anyway, they are super easy to whip up, and there are a large number of variations that may be tried (choc chips, berries, etc). I love mine with either Nutella, or margarine and marmalade!
Here they are:
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
oil
Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour" (if using cartonmilk, take 1/2 cup milk and add 2-3 tbsp yogurt to it, as boxed milk does not 'sour').
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
Heat a large pan over medium heat, and add a little oil, only enough to coat the base. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Flip with a spatula, and cook until golden on the other side.
DO double the recipe as this usually makes just 4-5-6 Pancakes.
