There's no need to resort to supermarket pancake mix when you can make these EASY Fluffy Pancakes in just 15 minutes. The recipe is foolproof and results in small, thick pancakes with a beautiful fluffy texture. Great for breakfast, brunch or a snack, the pancakes are also freezer-friendly. Drizzle them with maple syrup or your favourite toppings.
Ingredients
- 150 g self-raising flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 250 ml full-cream (whole) milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (I melt it in 20-second bursts in the microwave)
- 2 tsp natural vanilla extract
- 1 tsp olive oil or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Make the batter – Add the self-raising flour and baking powder to a large bowl (if you want to add sugar, see note 1).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg. Add the butter and vanilla extract. The butter may go a little lumpy in the mixture as it cools, but that’s okay.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour and whisk until combined.
- Preheat the pan – Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium–low heat. (The lower heat stops the pancakes from browning too quickly on the outside.) Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan if it needs it.
- Cook the pancakes – Use an ice-cream scoop to dollop the mixture into the pan. The pancakes will need to cook for 1–2 minutes per side. Place a lid on the pan halfway through cooking to help the pancakes cook through.
- Serve – Serve immediately with your favourite toppings. This recipe will make 8 pancakes.
Notes
Note 1 – This recipe does not include sugar. The pancakes are sweetened with toppings. Add 55 g (¼ cup) of caster (superfine) sugar to your dry mix for a sweet batter.
MAKE AHEAD
Refrigerate cooked pancakes for up to 3 days in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw completely overnight in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or eat cold.LEFTOVERS
