Pancakes

When making the pancakes it is good to not over beat the batter, just ask the children to stir it until everything is combined then put it into the fridge to settle.

Ingredients

  • 300g self raising flour

  • 1 tsp of baking powder

  • a pinch of salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tbs of honey

  • 300mls of milk

  • sunflower oil for frying

Method

  1. Place a big sieve over a mixing bowl and put the flour, baking powder and salt into the sieve and gently push them through with a spoon.

  2. Crack the two eggs into another bowl and whisk them until they are smooth and shiny and about twice the size. Add in the honey and milk.

  3. Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the liquid a third at a time and stir after each time you pour some in. You should end up with a nice smooth batter. You can use a whisk instead of a spoon if it gets lumpy.

  4. Put the batter into the fridge for about an hour to rest.

  5. Ask an adult to help you heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add about 1 dessertspoon of sunflower oil. Carefully swirl the pan, while holding it flat, and allow the oil to cover all of surface of the frying pan. When the oil has heated use a big spoon and spoon the batter into the centre of the frying pan. You will be making ten small round pancakes with your batter. Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to form and pop on the surface, then flip it over and cook the other side until it is golden.

  6. Put this pancake onto a warm plate and repeat it with the rest of the batter.
