It's sunday so lets make some pancakes. I have 3 children so need to make a good amount of pancakes, if you want to make less just half the measures.

 

Ingredients in order of appearance

 

• 1 1/2 cups of milk

• 4 tablespoons of white wine vinegar ( trust me ) 

• 2 cups of plain flour

• 4 tablespoons of white sugar

• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 2 large eggs

• 4 tablespoons of melted butter

 

 

Pour the milk into a large mixing bowl and add the white vinegar. Leave the milk to sour for 5 minutes while you measure our the dry ingredients.

 

Add the 2 cups of flour, 4 tablespoons of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda & 1/2 teaspoon of salt to another bowl and mix together. 

​

Now back to the milk, throw in the 2 large egg and whisk. Add 4 tablespoons of melted the butter and whisk it all together. I normally melt the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds as we store out butter in the fridge. 

​

Time to add the dry mixture into the milk mixture a little at a time. I add around 3-4 tablespoons of dry mixture at a time and give it a good whisk until there are no lumps. Keep going until there is no dry mixture left.

 

Good, you should have a thick gloopy liquid; transfer it to a jug and give your bowl a rinse so its easier to wash later. I normally leave the mixture standing for around 20 minutes before baking the pancakes. 

 

OK, put frying pan on low heat and get it up to temperature. I prefer to use a large frying pan even when making small pancakes so that if they do get stuck I can get under them easily. 

 

Before you start spray a little cooking oil on the pan and spread it with kitchen towel to line the surface. 

 

I can't tell you the amount of mixture, that is something you will have to experiment with. I prefer large thin pancakes so I pour a little ( maybe 3-4 tablespoons ) and spread it out by tilting the frying pan around in small circles. 

 

Give it 3-4 minutes and you should see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake, wait for them all to pop and turn it over. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and you're done.
