Prep time
10 mins
Ingredients
- Egg: 2 eggs
- Milk: 180ml milk
- Oil: 1 tbsp rapeseed, sunflower or grapeseed oil
- Maple Syrup: maple syrup, ice cream, crisp bacon, berries.
- Self Raising Flour: 150g self-raising flour
- Baking Powder: 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Golden Caster Sugar: 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
- Vanilla Extract: dash of vanilla extract
Directions
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and add the sugar. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and oil. Stir them into the flour then gradually add the milk and use awhiskto beat the liquid in. You can also put the lot in ablenderand blitz it. Stir in the vanilla.This batter is best used quickly.
- Put a non-stick pan over a low heat and put one or two non-stick crumpet rings (about 3.5 cm high) in the pan. Spray (or brush) the pan lightly with oil and the inside of the rings too. Fill them no more than 3/4 full with batter then cover the pan with a lid and cook the pancakes for about 10 mins on a very low heat. By this time the top of the pancake should be covered in little bubbles and look dry around the edges.
- Very carefully turn the pancakes over. You can do this by lifting each pancake in its ring onto the lid and then inverting the pan over them before turning the whole thing back over and taking off the lid. Cook for another 1-2 mins. Keep warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Stack and serve with your favourite toppings.
