This came about due to the lack of baking powder and plain flour in the Scottish Mum Household. The boys wanted pancakes, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to make them rise like fluffy pancakes, so I bit the bullet and went for self raising flour ones. They are more of a consistency like crepe style pancakes than the traditional ones that we are used to up here in Scotland, but they kept the boys bellies full.
Crepe Style Pancakes
Servings 15 Medium Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 30 g Butter or Margarine
- 300 ml Milk
- 250 g Self Raising Flour
- 30 g Sugar
Instructions
- Fold the ingredients until the flour is incorporated. Then whisk the ingredients briskly until it forms a smooth batter consistency.
- Heat a thick bottomed pan on the hob. I don't use oil to cook my pancakes, but some do. I keep the temperature low, and cook slowly.
- When the top of the pancake mix begins to show bubbles, it's time to flip it over and cook the other side. As I don't use oil, the pancakes don't have that smooth single colour, but they do have significantly less calories than an oil cooked pancake.
- We get around 15 medium sized pancakes from this recipe. It will depend on how large you make yours.
