We make pancakes every time there is something special about the day ahead. So this month there was a lot of pancakes. There is just something so wonderfully lazy about pancakes. Christmas, Easter birthdays is a our usual occassion but I know its a good day when he whips me up one of these out of the blue. Here is his recipe. For a larger batch just double the mix.
What you will need:
1 cup of self raising flour
1 egg
1 cup of milk
1/3 cup of sugar
splash of vanilla essence
butter for frying
dash of oil for frying (helps stop the butter from burning)
How to:
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Then mix all the wet ingredients together and then mix to a smooth batter.
FIFO husband likes the batter to sit for about half an hour but if you don’t have the time you don’t have the time.
Place the butter in the pan with a dash of oil allow to melt and get to a medium heat. Ladle pancake batter into the pan and wait for little bubbles to appear on top of the pancake before flipping them over to do the other side. If you are unsure lift the edge with a fork to see if they are a golden brown.
Ta da done.
Serve with butter and maple syrup or my FIFO husbands favourite freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar.
