My no-fail pancake recipe
I am hopeless at pancakes. Honestly. I'm impatient and I under cook them and I can't flip them without at least one edge going all dodgy or the whole thing collapsing into a gooey, rapidly-cooking mess. Most recipes don't help, and you end up with a bland rubbery disc that you have to smother in syrup and butter and hope you don't taste it.
These pancakes are really easy and although they aren't extraordinarily tasty OMG, they are very edible.
1 cup Self Raising Flour (or 1 cup plain flour with half a teaspoon of baking powder)
1/4 tsp bicarb soda
2 tbls sugar
pinch salt
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tbls melted butter or margarine
1 egg
Sift dry ingredients together, add wet ingredients, beat until smooth. If you like you can let the mixture rest for an hour but that isn't really needed. Cook on a medium heat in the frypan with a good splash of oil or a chunk of butter. Turn over once the top has been bubbling for a little while and is solid enough to flip neatly.
I like to make them a little smaller than a CD in diameter so that they stack nicely and look really posh, but you can make them pikelet sized, or if you're brave and are good at flipping, frypan sized.
