Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • Self-Raising Flour (1 cup / 150g) – Creates fluffy pancakes.
  • Milk (1 cup / 250ml, full-fat preferred) – This ensures a smooth batter.
  • Egg (1 large) – Binds the batter and adds fluffiness.
  • Baking Powder (1 tsp, optional) – Extra lift for fluffier pancakes.
  • Salt (a pinch) – Enhances the flavor.
  • Butter or Oil (for frying) – Prevents sticking and adds richness.

For Serving (Sweet Options):

  • Maple Syrup – A classic topping.
  • Fresh Berries – Adds natural sweetness.
  • Nutella or Chocolate Spread – For indulgence.
  • Honey and Greek Yogurt – A light and healthy option.
  • Banana Slices & Peanut Butter – Sweet and nutty flavor.

For Serving (Savory Options):

  • Crispy Bacon and Eggs – A hearty breakfast.
  • Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese – Elegant and rich.
  • Avocado & Feta – A modern twist.
  • Cheese & Herbs – A simple, savory delight.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the egg and milk, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

Tip: The batter should be thick but pourable. If it is too thick, add a splash of milk.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  2. Pour a ladleful (¼ cup) of batter into the pan.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  4. Flip and cook for another 1 minute until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate.
  2. Drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or Nutella.
  3. Add fresh fruit, yogurt, or bacon for extra flavor.
