- 120 Grams Plain flour
- 240 Milliliters Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Caster sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract

- In a separate small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly until the yolk and white are fully combined.1 Egg
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the whisked egg, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.240 Milliliters Milk, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Place a frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking.Butter or oil
- Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the frying pan, forming a circle. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancake to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use a measuring cup to pour the batter for even-sized pancakes.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- If making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 100°C) until ready to serve.
- Get creative with toppings! Try adding chocolate chips, banana slices, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for variety.
Simple, quick, and delicious! I appreciated the tip about letting the batter rest for fluffier pancakes. Worked like a charm. I’ll be trying them with bananas and walnuts next time!
Glad the tip worked for you! Bananas and walnuts sound like a fantastic addition — they’ll add great flavor and texture. Let me know how they turn out, and happy cooking! 🍌🥞🍴
