Perfect pancakes recipe
Pancake Day is nearly upon us and this year why not be bolder with your toppings and try something new? If you're traditionally a fan of sweet pancakes, try something new like ricotta and spinach. Follow our simple but tasty recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 125g sieved plain flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300ml full-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon of honey or golden syrup
- 1 pinch of salt
- ½ a vanilla pod (or 1tsp of vanilla essence if you don't have a pod)
The batter:
- Add the vanilla pod, honey/golden syrup and eggs to a large bowl and whisk together.
- Add the flour, sugar and salt to the bowl.
- Add 100ml of milk to the bowl and whisk all the ingredients together.
- Once smooth, gradually add the remaining milk and continue to whisk.
Note: Getting the batter smooth before adding the rest of the milk is the key to making your pancakes light and thin.
Cooking:
- Heat up a non-stick frying pan and spray with oil spray for an even coating.
- Let the pan heat up a little more, lift the pan and add the batter with a ladle, swirling the pan to thinly coat the base of the pan with batter.
- Return the pan to the heat and cook for 1-1½ minutes, at which time you can then flip your pancake.
- You can try the fun way or use a spatula.
- Cook for a further 1-1½ minutes, then turn out onto a plate.
- Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
Top savoury suggestions:
- Chargrilled vegetables with pepper (you can even add a few spices to the batter mix)
- Goats cheese and rosemary
- Poached eggs and smoked salmon
- Ham and cheese (classic and simple)
Top sweet suggestions:
- Lemon and sugar (of course!)
- Nutella and strawberries
- Ice-cream
- Maple syrup and bacon bits (very American!)
Whatever topping or filling you choose, we wish you Bon Appetit!
