SO this recipe is tried and tested and time and time again and always comes out a winner. These American style fluffy and delicious pancakes are the go to’s you guys have always chosen for your birthday breakfasts, whether loaded with syrup, nutella or Ice Cream (Buggy).
The Pancake Recipe:
- 300g self-raising flour
- 1 tspn baking powder
- 1 tbspn caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 75g natural yoghurt (about 1 heaped tbspn and 1/2)
- 300ml milk
- butter for cooking them/ healthy spray oil
- frying pan
- maple syrup to drizzle all over!
Method:
- In a bowl bung the flour, baking powder and sugar and mix them up using a fork (an easy peasy hack for sifting which makes the flour airier and your mix won’t be claggy and gross)
- In a large jug, measure out the milk, then add the yoghurt and eggs, then mix them all up….
- slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and using a fork make sure they all get mixed up together (don’t forget to scrape the bottom of the bowl)
- Put a frying pan on the hob on medium heat and add the butter/oil
- Slowly pour in your batter to the desired size you want them to be.
- Remember to NOT crowd the edges of the frying pan so you can flip them.
- Once the batter starts to bubble and looks like it has mini holes like moon craters, Flip them:)
- Give them another minute or so on the other side and they should be ready.
- Remember, each time you want to make a new pancake, just hold the frying pan off the heat and wipe it down with a kitchen towel and start all over again.
Bonus Round: Growing up with Pops, our favourite movie to watch together was an old Gregory Peck movie called “Shoot Out.” A western about a bank robber, Gregory Peck, who finds and helps a little girl. My favourite part of the movie was when Gregory Peck makes “flap-jacks” for the little girl, they looked like the best most luscious pancakes EVAH and this recipe reminds me of them. I remember clearly, after every time he’d make the pancakes he would say “okie dokie- dominokie” daddy and I forever said that to each other. We said that and also without fail, every time we’d make something together, or something would go wrong in life in general, daddy would say to me, “first you fisk it, then you misk it, then you throw it away,” made me smile every.single.time.
Love You’s.
