Pancakes - What is the Tastiest Topping?



With Pancake Tuesday only around the corner, a good Pancake Recipe is a must have! The topping is your choice & we have suggested some of our favourites!

Ingredients:
125g / 4oz Plain Flour 
Pinch of Salt
1 Egg
300ml / 1/2 pint Milk
Oil for frying

Method:
  • Sieve flour and salt into a bowl.
  • Make a well in the centre of the flour, break in the egg and add about a third of the milk. Beat well, gradually pouring in the rest of the milk and drawing in the flour to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour batter into a jug and allow to stand for about 30 minutes.
  • Brush a pancake pan or frying pan with oil. When the pan is hot, give the batter a stir before pouring a thin layer onto the pan.
  • Fry until golden brown. Turn and fry the other side until brown also.
  • Stack pancakes on a large plate, as they are cooked.
  • Add your topping of choice!
