Recipe Ingredients
- 280 grams plain flour
- 60 grams caster sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 450 millilitres milk, warm
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Methods
1. Make the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, a pinch of salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients until well blended. Set the bowl aside.
Heat the milk in a saucepan just enough for the butter to melt in it. Let it come to room temperature, then crack in the two eggs and add the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined, then pour the wet ingredients onto the dry and stir briefly. It is important not to overmix; a few smaller lumps are okay. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Bake
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and use a ladle to portion the batter. Fry the pancakes on one side for 3 minutes. It’s time to flip them over when you see bubbles forming on the top of the pancakes and the edges start to change colour. The formation of bubbles on the top is the right indication that it is time to turn. Cook the other side of the pancake for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
3. Serve
Drizzle the pancakes with a little maple syrup or honey and serve with berries if desired.
Enjoy!
