Ingredients
- Vegetable Oil: vegetable oil, for cooking
- Milk: 200ml milk
- Butter: 25g melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- Maple Syrup: maple syrup
- Self Raising Flour: 200g self-raising flour
- Baking Powder: 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Golden Caster Sugar: 1 tbsp golden caster sugar
- Large Egg: 3 large eggs
- Bacon: toppings of your choice, such as cooked bacon, chocolate chips, blueberries or peanut butter and jam
Directions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add the eggs, melted butter and milk. Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
- Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don't put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking. Cook the pancakes on their first side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
- Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favourite toppings.
