Directions
- 1
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together into a large bowl.
- 2
In another bowl, whisk the beaten egg, milk and oil until smooth.
- 3
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour is moistened.
- 4
The batter should stay thick and slightly lumpy — do not overmix.
- 5
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and pour in a small ladle of batter.
- 6
When bubbles form and pop on the surface, flip the pancake and cook the other side.
- 7
Serve warm with honey, jam or butter, and add chopped fruit to taste.
💡 Chef's Tip
A lumpy batter is a good sign: overmixing develops gluten and makes the pancakes chewy. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes while the pan heats up, and cook in small batches so each pancake browns evenly.
