Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- 2
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk, salt, and vanilla extract.
- 3
Gradually fold in the self-rising flour until a smooth, slightly loose batter forms — do not overmix.
- 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small knob of butter until it begins to foam.
- 5
Drop two tablespoons of batter per cake into the pan, leaving space between each one.
- 6
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then gently flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
- 7
Serve warm, dusted generously with cinnamon sugar or a drizzle of honey.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking. These cakes are best served fresh from the pan but can be reheated in a dry skillet over low heat.
