Best of all, once the kids have mastered this yummy pancake recipe, they’ll have more confidence to tackle more complicated recipes.

It’s light, fluffy, delicious and super easy to make. Don’t forget to leave your feedback at the end of this article – any suggestions you’d like to make? Or how about sharing your favourite toppings? Okay, we’re drooling – so here’s the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of self-raising flour (if you only have plain flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder)
• 2 tablespoons of caster sugar (optional, if you prefer sweet pancakes over more savoury)
• 1 cup of milk (at room temperature is best)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 egg (at room temperature is best)
• Butter

You don’t need baking powder unless you only have plain flour (all-purpose flour). For a healthier recipe, you can substitute white four for wholemeal flour, or use half coconut flour (which is full of fibre), almond flour or other flours. Of course, you can reduce the amount of sugar you use too.

Directions:

1. Combine flour, sugar, milk, vanilla essence and egg into a mixing bowl.
2. Do not over mix for best results.
3. In a large frying pan, heat until hot. If a few drops of water sizzle right away, your pan is ready! Lightly grease with butter.
4. Using a ladle or measuring cup (1/4 cup is good), pour the mixture into the pan, holding them down close to the pan.
5. After a minute or two, you should notice bubbles and the pancake edges drying. It’s time to quickly but gently flip them over! A flat, wide spatula is best. Cook until golden.
