Pancakes

Easy, soft and fluffy pancakes using simple pantry ingredients. This is a small-batch recipe with less baking powder to avoid a bitter aftertaste.

• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (about 62 g) plain flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Small pinch of salt
• 1 whole egg
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
• 1 tbsp peanut oil

Directions

• Thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
• Add the egg, milk and peanut oil.
• Mix until just combined. A few small lumps are fine.
• If the batter is too thick, add a small splash of milk.
• Lightly oil a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
• Pour or spoon the batter into the pan to make small pancakes.
• Cook for about 1–2 minutes, until bubbles appear and the edges begin to set.
• Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
• Serve warm.
