Basic Pancakes

Forgive me, but I don't measure precisely.  I will give you approximate quantities, so you will need to use judgement with this recipe. 

Ingredients:

• • 1 egg

  • 2 tab sugar

  • 1 cup milk or 1/2 cream and 1/2 milk

  • 1 tsp baking powder (for extra rising)

  • approx 1 cup flour

Method:

• 1. Turn on your pancake maker or preheat a small non-stick frypan to medium heat

  2. break the egg into a mixing bowl

  3. add the sugar and whisk until creamy

  4. add the milk and whisk until combined

  5. add about 1/2 cup of flour and the baking powder and whisk until combined.

  6. continue adding more flour until you have a mixture that is thick but can be poured - like thickened cream.

  7. grease your hot pan with butter - your pan should gently sizzle but not smoke

  8. pour about 1/3 cup pancake mixture into your pan (if using a frypan, tilt to distribute the mix into a circle that's about 15cm - 6 inches - across

  9. cook until bubbles burst on the surface and the holes pretty much remain.

  10. flip your pancake and cook the other side until golden

  11. remove to a plate and continue cooking the rest of the mixture
