The only recipe you need for delicious pancakes in minutes

Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

🛒 What you’ll need:

• 100g plain flour
• 1 large egg
• 300ml milk (semi-skimmed or whole)
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp oil or melted butter (plus extra for frying)

Optional toppings:

• Sugar & lemon 🍋
• Nutella & bananas 🍫🍌
• Biscoff spread 🟤
• Honey & yoghurt 🍯

Method

1️⃣ Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, milk, salt, and oil/butter until smooth.

2️⃣ Heat the pan

Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking.

3️⃣ Cook your pancakes

Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and bubbles form on the surface.

4️⃣ Flip it!

Use a spatula (or attempt a dramatic flip) to turn the pancake over. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown.

5️⃣ Stack & Serve

Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the pancakes as you go. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!

Student cooking hacks

• No whisk? Use a fork and mix well.
• No scales? 100g flour = roughly 7 tbsp.
• No measuring jug? 300ml milk = a little over 1 standard mug.
• Leftovers? Stack and store in the fridge for up to 2 days, just reheat in the microwave or pan.
