Homemade Pancakes

This recipe was the ‘go to’ celebration breakfast (birthdays, Christmas etc) when we were kids - pancakes enjoyed together around the table as a family. And we still do it today. They are delicious (I’m probably bias!) But give them a whirl and let me know what you think. Our kids now make them for us, which I think is pretty great!

Ingredients

• 2 C wholemeal flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 C wheatgerm (optional)

• 1 T soft brown sugar

• 30g melted butter

• 1 1/4 C milk

• 1 egg

• Pinch of salt

• Extra milk or cold water as needed (1/2 - 1 C)

Method

• Mix wholemeal flour, baking powder, salt and soft brown sugar together in a bowl.

• Stir through wheatgerm if using.

• In a separate bowl, beat egg. Add melted butter and milk. Stir.

• Add egg/milk/butter mixture to dry ingredients.

• Stir until the mixture is smooth.

• Slowly add extra milk or water as needed, stirring to achieve an 'easy to pour' consistency.

• Pre heat fry pan over medium heat (pan needs to be up to temp before using, to ensure pancakes don’t stick!) Add oil/butter to the pan as needed, as you go.

• Spoon or pour mixture into frypan and swirl pan to make a round pancake.

• Cook until bubbles appear, then flip pancake with a spatula.

• Cook other side until golden brown.

• Set onto a plate and/or leave in warmed oven while cooking the rest of the mixture.

Topping Ideas

• Natural yoghurt + sliced banana + maple syrup

• Grilled crispy bacon + sliced avocado + maple syrup

• Fresh blueberries + strawberries + greek yoghurt + maple syrup

• Freshly squeezed lemon with cinnamon sugar
