Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups lukewarm milk
  • 1 large egg 60 g or 2 oz with shell
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Toppings

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

  2. Warm the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds until lukewarm and whisk together with the egg. Melt the butter in the microwave, then add it to the egg mixture. Whisk it to combine well.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones, and stir until all ingredients are just incorporated. Then, set aside. Do not over mix the batter.

  4. Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium heat. Grease the pan with butter, drop three tablespoons of batter onto the pan, and gently spread out into a round shape.

  5. Cook until the bottom part is golden and bubbles appear on the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, flip it over and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden.

  6. Serve immediately with butter, syrup, and fresh fruit.

Recipe Notes

Recipe adapted: Inspired Taste

Tips:

  • DO NOT OVER MIX the batter. When you combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones, stir until all ingredients are just incorporated. It's ok to leave some lumps in the batter. Over mixing the batter will make flat pancakes and we don't want that.
  • Let the batter set for a few minutes before cooking which gives enough time to activate the baking powder. It makes the pancakes rise high and fluffier.
  • Grease the pan with vegetable oil or butter between each pancake so they won't stick to the bottom when flipped.
