How to: Make (the Best) Old Fashioned Pancakes

by on Sep 28, 2012

One of our favorite things to do with our backyard hens eggs is to make good old fashioned pancakes. We do it at least once a week and I’ve had several requests via Twitter and Instagram (@mattallison) to share my recipe, so without further ado, here it is! 

Ingredients

(Makes 10+ 8inch pancakes)

2 eggs
1 cup of cake flour
1 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 stick of melted butter
2 tbsp of castor sugar
1 tsp of salt
2 tsp of baking powder
Ground cinnamon
Brown sugar
Lemon juice

Step 1: Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk them together.

Step 2: Place a non-stick frying pan on a medium high heat and once hot ladle in roughly 3 tbsp of batter and evenly spread it around the pan.

Step 3: Cook for about a minute, until you start to see little air bubbles and then flip it over for another minute.

Step 4: Place the pancakes on a plate and sprinkle with ground cinnamon, a tsp of brown sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice and then starting at one edge roll them up.

I love to serve mine with fresh fruit, usually a diced banana and a handful of fresh strawberries topped with a sprig of mint and garnished with icing sugar and drizzled in maple syrup.

You could also do a savory option by stuffing them with spinach and feta instead of the cinnamon, lemon juice and brown sugar and serve with a mushroom sauce.

Enjoy!
