I’ve ALWAYS struggled with making pancakes- either they are too thin and are crepes or they are too thick and stodgy and more like cakes or scones. But I’ve found the perfect recipe and made them 3 times today already and they are actually like the proper pancakes you can buy in shops/cafes! Just wanted to share it incase anyone else was struggling :) there’s so many different recipes online but this one is amazing and actually works!!! Thought I would share it for anyone else struggling like I was
65g of caster sugar
240g of self raising flower
a pinch of salt
2 eggs
480ml of milk
Seasoning of your choice (eg cinnamon)
mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another bowl. Slowly combine them both and keep whisking (I did it by hand, no hand mixer required). This recipe makes about 4 big American style pancakes or 8-10 smaller ones.
use paper towel and smear a little butter or oil onto a frying pan. Don’t use too much- just a trace. Heat the pan until it’s hot. use a ladle and pour a blob of mix onto the hot pan. Watch the pancake until it ‘bubbles’- once the bubbles don’t get filled in by pancake mix, it’s ready to be flipped. Each big pancake took less than 5 minutes in total
serve with whatever you want!
hope this helps someone else who was struggling with pancakes :)
