Quick Pancakes

I have no idea where or when I came across this recipe. All I know is that I have been making it for a very long time, and as usual, have changed things around over the years to suit me, and you can change it to suit yourself too. I find it very quick and easy, and my boys love it.


1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup milk



Ready for the pan

Bubbles appear when ready to flip over

  • Mix all ingredients with a whisk until batter is smooth.
  • Heat pan on medium.
  • Spray with oil, or pour in small amount oil for cooking.
  • Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter into pan, cook until bubbles appear on top.
  • Serve with butter and maple syrup.
ENJOY


Notes:

Add more or less sugar, to your desired taste.
Add more milk for a weaker batter, less milk for a thicker batter.
If using a non stick pan, no need to spray oil.
You can substitute the plain flour and baking powder by using 1 cup cake flour/self raising flour. I found that it's not as fluffy when cooked, but it still works.
You can store unused batter in the fridge for use the next day.
Store leftover pancakes in the fridge, reheat covered in the microwave for about 10 sec.
