Kate’s Canadian-style Pancakes!

Fluffy, springy and my favourite recipe 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder (don’t use bicarb by accident whatever you do – else they end up tasting like pretzels!)
• pinch of salt
• 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 2/3 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• excess oil for frying
• maple syrup (to serve)

Instructions

STEP 1:

1. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl.

STEP 2:

2. In a smaller bowl, beat egg and oil. Add milk and mix together (after this step, i usually put the pan on the hob to heat).

STEP 3:

3. Pour wet mixture into dry and combine until smooth and beige in colour (should be thick but gloopy, not runny/doughlike).

STEP 4:

4. Using a generous splash of oil in the pan, pour circles of mixture into pan (high heat). Fry until topside bubbles (~2 mins), then carefully flip and fry the underside (~1 min).

STEP 5:

5. Serve with maple syrup and, if desired, bacon (also appropriate as a breakfast recipe).
