Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 tbl sugar or honey
  • 1 tbl brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp  baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp  sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tbl melted butter
  • butter for frying

Method
 

  1. Add flour, salt, white sugar, brown sugar, and baking powder, to a bowl and whisk to incorporate everything.
  2. In a small bowl whisk the egg with a fork until its beaten. This will make it easier to blend into the batter.
  3. Make a well in the flour mixture, then add the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter to the bowl.
    With a wooden spoon gently fold in all the ingredients together. Do not over mix the batter. The more you mix it- the tougher the dough will become. There will be a few pockets of dry flour, that’s perfectly fine!
  4. Let the mixture sit for a 5 minutes to let the wet ingredients fully absorb the dry ingredients.
  5. While the mixture is resting, place a pan on a medium low heat.
    To get the golden crispy fried edges, add 1tbl of butter to the hot pan.
  6. When the butter has melted add 1/2 cup of batter into the pan.
  7. Once the pancake has formed little bubbles in the batter, that’s when you know its ready to be flipped. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until its cooked through.
  8. Repeat the process until there is no batter left.
    Enjoy!
