These American-style pancakes are a staple in our house: they take minutes to whip up from simple store cupboard ingredients, and they taste great. Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch. This recipe makes enough batter for 12 small pancakes or 8 much larger ones.
You will need:
1 cup plain flour (or you could use wholemeal, or a blend)
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 heaped tablespoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 cup soy milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1. On a medium heat on the stove-top, begin to heat a large, flat-bottomed frying pan. As long as it's non-stick, you shouldn't need any oil or butter to grease it.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
3. Make a well in the centre and add the soy milk and oil, a little at a time, using a fork or small whisk to bring the mixture together smoothly.
4. When the batter is smooth, spoon it into the pan, one pancake at a time.
5. When the pancake starts to bubble on top, use a spatula to flip it. Repeat until all pancakes are cooked.
6. Serve with fresh berries or sliced banana and syrup.
