Pancakes (Allergy-free)
There's nothing like a hot stack of pancakes for breakfast. These fluffly flap-jacks are allergy-free (including a gluten-free option), and perfect with fresh fruit toppings.
Prep Time: 5M
Cooking Time: 20M
Serves: makes 8
Ingredients:
Nut free
- generous 1 cup all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp superfine sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 scant cup milk
- nut-free vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
- Sift the flour with the salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- Make a well in the center, add the egg and half the milk and whisk (but do not overmix) to form a smooth creamy batter. Stir in the remaining milk.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Pour off the excess. Add enough batter to the pan to make a pancake about 5 inches in diameter and cook until bubbles appear and pop on the surface and the pancake is almost set and brown underneath, about 11/2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and quickly cook the other side. Slide out onto a plate and keep warm while you cook the remainder. Heat the pan with a little more oil between each pancake. If you have a big pan, you could cook 2-3 pancakes at a time.
- Serve the pancakes hot with maple syrup, honey, raspberries, or lemon wedges to squeeze over them.
- The pancakes are best made fresh, so keep them warm on a plate over a pan of gently simmering water while you cook the remainder.
