Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, caster sugar, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
    120 Grams Plain flour, 1 Tablespoon Caster sugar, 1 Tablespoon Baking powder
  • 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

Tips & Tricks
  • 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!

    1. 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! 🍌🥞🍴
