what is the perfect pancake mixture?

[swifterella]

pray tell?

4oz plain (or bread) flour
1 egg
1/2 pt milk
1 tabsp oil

I use

4oz plain flour
2 eggs
1/2 pint milk
dollop of oil.

Then I times it all by 3 and set it aside till later (done already).

Very hot frying pan. I use a ladle to "pour" out the mix.

Same aS Mars here

yum. looking forward to pancakes later.....

thanks all, am getting limbered up for some serious flippin!!

Packet bought stuff

same as Mars minus the oil dollop!

here:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornflour (not cornstarch)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 beaten egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp cooking oil (not olive)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.

Mix dry ingredients in one bowl, wet in another. Stir everything together till just moistened, then gently fold in blueberries. Cook in med-hot lightly buttered pan. Flip pancake when bubbles come up & edges are slightly dry. Serve with lashings of maple syrup. I double this recipe for the 4 of us.

looks like a lot more work than other recipes but it's not hard, truly, & well worth the trouble!

trust me.

Is the dolop of oil for the pan...or for the mixture??

I agree with katymac - delish. Although I don't make it a full half pint of milk - about three quarters milk one quarter water. For a thin delectaBLE CREpe

the dollop is in the mix. I also use a little in the pan!

Same as Mars Preferably a non-stick pan with the bare minimum of oil wiped around with a bit of kitchen paper.

well I followed your recipe to the letter mars...truly yummy...but I think I might have eaten one too many...you know that battery belly you get afterwards!!!!
Plus the kids had chocolate spread on theirs, and I finished off the left over bits...[stuffed emoticon]

Gorgeous aren't they? Work every time!
