Prep: 5min

Serving Size: 1 serving

Nutrition Facts: calories 156 kcal, Carbohydrate 22 g, Protein 3 g, Fat 5 g, Saturated Fat 3 g, Cholesterol 27 mg, Sodium 152 mg, Sugar 6 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose | plain flour, ((290 g | 10 oz))
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, ((60g | 2 oz))
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk, ((440ml))
  • 1/4 cup butter, ((60g | 2 oz))
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instruction:

  1. Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
  2. Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that’s okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick — doesn’t pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly — fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
  3. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
  4. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
  5. When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!
