Time for Pancakes

Time for Pancakes is everyday as far as my family are concerned. These are very simple to prepare and cook and taste amazing. Even my husband, who “doesn’t do breakfast” sits there asking for more!!! This originally Greek recipe is a perfect option for family breakfast and brunches and even quick snacks in the afternoon. The children love their jam and bananas while fruit, nuts and honey is for me.

Ingredients

 

• 1 ½ cups flour AP or Plain
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 large eggs free range
• 1 ¼ cups milk full
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
• ¼ tsp salt to taste

Instructions

• Place a mixing bowl on a wet cloth on the work surface (avoids slipping). Sieve the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix thoroughly.
  1 ½ cups flour, 1 tbsp caster sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt
• Make a sure well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the egg, vanilla, milk and the melted butter. Again, mix thoroughly until no lumps appear and the mixture is smooth.
  1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 ¼ cups milk, 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 large eggs
• Place a lightly oiled pan over a medium high heat.
• Use a ladle to transfer about 4 tbsp of batter to the pan per pancake. (I use a ladle as it holds 4 tbsp) Move the pan around until the batter has an even thickness to it and leave until bubbles start to form on the top and the edge start to firm up.
• Flip the pancake over and cook until browned on the second side.
• When cooked, transfer to a warmed plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm whilst cooking the rest.
• Repeat the cooking process until all of the batter is used.
• Serve with a topping/filling of your choice.

Notes

I like the subtle hint of vanilla but this and the quantity of it are optional.
