Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plain flour (Note 1)
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder (Note 1)
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extra (optional)
- 2 tsp butter
- Strawberry jam and cream or butter
Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Whisk flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre, add egg, milk and vanilla. Whisk until the batter is almost lump free - a few small ones is ok. The batter should be the consistency in between maple syrup and tomato sauce - see photo above in post.
Melt butter in a NON STICK skillet over medium high heat. Then WIPE all the butter off with a paper towel so there are no visible drops of oil. This is how the first batch comes out beautifully golden instead of splotchy.
Place 2 tbsp of batter (or ½ filled ice cream scooper which is what I use) into the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface (see photo) then flip and cook the other side until golden (usually around 1 - 1½ minutes). Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm with jam and cream, or butter!
