Ingredients
- 3 eggs,
- 1 pint of Milk,
- 1lb of Self Rising Flour,
- 6oz of Caster Sugar,
- 3 teaspoons of Baking powder.
Method
- STEP 1Break your eggs into a large bowl then add the milk and whisk them together until they look smooth and frothy.
- STEP 2Add the dry ingredients starting with the Self Raising Flour, then the sugar, then baking powder,
- STEP 3Whisk all the ingredients together until they have all combined, try not to over mix!
- STEP 4Place a sheet of foil over your bowl and leave the batter for at least and hour. (I usually leave it in the fridge over night ready for some morning pancakes) The batter should have risen and become quite thick and bubbly.
- STEP 5Get a large spoon and mix the batter around until you get a nice thick gloopy batter
- STEP 6Geese your frying pan with a nob of butter and place it onto a medium heat. Use your first batch of pancakes to determine if this heat is correct.
- STEP 7Spoon your mix into the frying pan in large dollops, or like I have started doing, use a ladle!
- STEP 8Once the edges of the pancakes are dull and a few bubbles start to appear in them, it'Âs time to flip them with a spatula!
- STEP 9Leave them flipped for around 3-4 mins, flip them again for another 1 min, then again for another 1 min.
- STEP 10Your pancakes should be fluffy and golden, if you are unsure test them a little stab with a fork to see if any batter comes out, or rip them in half.
- STEP 11Serve with anything of your choice!
