- Plain flour 1 tea/coffee mug
- Baking powder 2 table spoons
- Milk 1 tea/coffee mug
- Salt 1 tea spoon
- Caster sugar 1 table spoon
- Eggs 2 large and always free range
- Butter 3 table spoons warm and melted
- Maple syrup
- Blueberries
- Coconut sprinkles
Preparing the mixture:
- In a large bowl put the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together… so almost everything. Then give it a good stir, until it’s all mixed up
- Melt the butter on a low heat pan
- In a separate bowl, pour the milk and mix with the eggs
- Add the melted butter in the liquid mixture. Wisk again
- Then add the liquid mixture to the powdery one and whisk until there is no bits
- Use a non-stick frying pan (very important) and heat it to medium temperature
- Add a slice of butter before each pancake (if the butter starts going black, the heat is too high)
- Pour mixture slowly in the centre of the buttered pan. It should distribute evenly and thus achieving a nice round pancake shape. If the butter is too much, the shape will distort. If you pour too quickly, it may ruin the shape as well
- Once you start seeing slight air bubbles on the top, use a spatula (for extra precision) and gently, yet quickly flip the pancake
- Cook the pancake on the flipside for roughly 1/3 of the time you cooked it on the first side
- Repeat for the rest
The finishing touches:
- Put caster sugar on top
- Pour the maple syrup
- Add the blueberries
- Sprinkle a modest amount of coconut on top for extra flavour
- Enjoy them with company, never alone
Tips:
- To have even fluffier pancakes, use self-rising flour and still add the baking powder (don’t worry, it’s safe-ish to do it)
- Cinnamon is a good addition (1 tea spoon) to the mixture if you like the taste
- For best results, whisk whilst slowly adding the warm butter to the liquid mixture
- Before putting the first pancake on the plate, pour a splash of the maple syrup underneath it. This will add extra deliciousness to this dessert
- Usually three pancakes per person are enough for a meal
- Heat the maple syrup in a bowl above boiling water, so that it’s warm and more liquid
- When pouring caster sugar on top, use some kind of filter (e.g. tea leafs filter), so that the power is actually powdery and has no bits
- Of course, besides blueberries you can use whatever you want really
Et voilà,
Enjoy these pancakes made with love in a good company !
