Proper Pancakes

No one can pass up the opportunity of eating these pancakes.

Depending on where you are in the world, these are called pancakes. There can be a lot of debate about pancakes, crepes, flapjacks, but this is what I was brought up with as a child.

Makes a great dessert, snack, breakfast, or dinner.

This is a family recipe from my dad's side of the family. He has fond memories of going to his grandmother's house every day after school for some fresh pancakes with lemon and sugar. Topping is to taste; lemon and sugar is a go to topping. I like mine with butter and caramel topping or maple syrup.

RECIPE

Makes Roughly 12 Pancakes

Preparation & Cooking Time: Roughly 1 Hour

1 Egg

2 Cups Milk

208 Grams - 1 2/3 Cups Flour

Margarine or Butter, for Cooking

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

In a bowl, add the egg, milk and flour.

With an electric beater or whisk, beat for about one minutes until mix has combined. Strain out any lumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the butter to medium- high heat. You may have to adjust the heat. Add more butter each time. Add a scoop of pancake mix. Scoop enough to line the pan thinly when you spread it out. Tilt the pan on an angle and spread it out to cover the surface. Put it back on the heat

In about 1-2 minutes there will be bubbles forming and the colour has changed with browning on the edges. That's when you know it's ready to turn. With a spatula, flip the pancake. Cook it on the other side for 1-2 minutes. Lift the pancake with the spatula to check.

Place the pancake on a plate and leave it somewhere warm, like an oven on 40 degrees Celsius. Repeat the cooking steps for each pancake. Don’t forget to keep adding butter and adjusting the temperature if needed. Serve with your favourite toppings. Enjoy!
