 The extra baking powder makes these pancakes more than double in height creating the most soft and fluffy texture. Ingredients
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder Pinch of Salt 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) 1 Egg 1¼ Cups Milk ¼ Cup Melted Butter + more for cooking ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Essence InstructionsIn a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt with a wooden spoon. Set to the side in a smaller bowl crack in the egg and pour in the milk.Add the melted butter and vanilla essence to the egg and milk and use a fork to mix together until everything is well combined.Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Fold the batter together with a wooden spoon until there are no longer any large lumps. To cook the pancakes heat a heavy based pan like cast iron over medium low heat. When the pan is hot add a small amount of butter and ⅓ cup of the pancakes batter. Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes each side. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve the pancakes stacked high with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy. Notes: Baking powder has no flavour so it shouldn't leave your pancakes with a bitter taste. Baking soda needs an acid to neutralize the bitter flavour but these pancakes don't have an acid so baking powder is used. If your baking powder is leaving a bad taste in the pancakes consider trying a different brand of baking powder. Also: You can add other flavourings to the pancakes such as blueberries or chocolate chips. Add the extra ingredients at the same time as you combine the wet and dry ingredients. |
