Pancakes are a classic breakfast staple that can be enjoyed any time of the day. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. In this blog post, we'll share a recipe for making delicious pancakes in the UK.
135g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp caster sugar
130ml milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter or vegetable
oil, plus extra for frying
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and caster sugar. Sifting the ingredients together will help to evenly distribute them and remove any lumps.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter or oil. The melted butter or oil will help to keep the pancakes moist and tender.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix the batter as this can result in tough pancakes. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. You can also use a griddle or a pancake pan. The key is to use a non-stick surface to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Using a ladle, pour the batter into the pan to make pancakes of your desired size. You can make small pancakes or larger ones depending on your preference. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry out, then flip and cook for another minute or so on the other side. The pancakes should be golden brown and fluffy.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven or covered with foil.
Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or jam. You can also add bacon, sausage, or eggs for a savory twist.
Making pancakes is an easy and fun activity that can be enjoyed with family and friends. This recipe for pancakes in the UK is simple and delicious. You can customize the recipe by adding your favorite ingredients and toppings. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, pancakes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of the day
