Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose or plain flour

4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda*
½ teaspoon salt
1¾ cups milk
¼ cup butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Directions: |
Directions:Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).
(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!
Notes
*For fluffier pancakes, you can add baking soda, however, if you're sensitive to the taste, leave it out. Usually, for every cup of flour, add ⅛ of a teaspoon of baking soda. This will turn your plain/all-purpose flour into self-raising flour.
Tip: For equal-sized pancakes, use a measuring cup to pour your batter. I usually use ladles that measure ¼ cup or ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake. |

Notes: HOW TO COOK PERFECT PANCAKES
Preheat your good quality, non stick pan or griddle on medium heat first. Once it’s hot, lower the heat down to low-medium heat. Wait about two minutes. This part is crucial and so worth it. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter (yes, even on non stick pans), and wipe away any excess butter with a sheet of paper towel.
Use a ¼ cup-sized measuring cup to pour your batter so you get perfect, evenly sized pancakes. Start pouring from the middle, then continue pouring slowly in a circular motion so that the batter spreads into perfect round shapes.
Allow the pancakes to cook properly! Don’t rush them on high heat, or flip them too early. Let that under-side cook to a beautiful golden brown colour, and when bubbles start forming on top and around the surface (batter side), they are ready to flip.
How to get that flip perfected without creating lopsided pancakes? Grab a good, plastic spatula and slide it underneath the pancake. Use your wrist to gently flip them instead of using your whole arm. You’ll know what I mean when you’re in front of your pan ready to flip. This makes a huge difference.
