Cuisine: American, Pancake Day

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 125 ml milk or dairy free alternative
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 140 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • butter or dairy free spread for frying

Instructions

  • Lightly whisk the egg then mix with the milk, oil, honey and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate large bowl, measure out the flour and baking powder and sift into a bowl along with the salt.
  • Mix the wet and dry ingredients together then lightly whisk until well combined and lump free.
  • Spoon the pancake mix into a sauce bottle or piping bag then leave to rest for 5 minutes while you heat up the pan (If you don’t have a sauce bottle or piping bag, just leave the mixture to rest in the bowl and use a teaspoon to make the pancakes instead).
  • Heat the pan over a medium heat, then drop in the butter and swirl around until completely melted.
  • Drop mini circles of pancake mixture in the pan to make your pancakes, making sure you leave enough room between the pancakes to flip them over once ready. I find that using a pallet knife instead of a spatula makes it much easier to flip these tiny pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes until they start to bubble up, then flip them over and cook on the other side until golden.
  • Remove from the pan, place in and repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  • Divide between cereal bowls and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Serving suggestion: Fresh berries and yogurt also go beautifully with this cute pancake cereal!
