Cooking method

Pan

  1. Mix the dry ingredients

    Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

  2. Whisk the wet ingredients

    For classic pancakes, whisk milk, egg and melted butter. For vegan pancakes, whisk plant-based drink and oil.

  3. Combine gently

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. A few small lumps are fine.

  4. Heat the pan

    Warm a lightly oiled pan or griddle over medium heat.

  5. Cook the first side

    Spoon small rounds of batter into the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.

  6. Flip

    Flip and cook the second side until golden and cooked through.

  7. Serve warm

    Serve the pancakes warm, adding toppings separately so restriction choices stay clear.
