Ingredients
- 45g salted butter
- 15ml sunflower oil
- 140g self-raising flour
- 35g golden caster sugar
- 140ml semi skimmed milk
- 1 medium egg
Instructions
- In a small microwaveable bowl, melt the butter in the microwave at 20 second increments until fully melted. Once melted, take out 1 tablespoon of the butter and add to another bowl with the oil then mix together and set aside. This will be used to cook the pancakes. Also set aside the bowl with the rest of the butter to cool.
- Add the flour and sugar to a large bowl, mix and set aside. To another smaller bowl, add the milk and egg then whisk together. Pour the whisked milk and egg into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Mix in the main bowl of cooled butter and combine until smooth. Cover the bowl with some cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- When you’re ready to cook the pancakes. Place a non-stick frying pan on a low to medium heat then add a little of the oil butter mixture that you set aside earlier. Allow to heat until slightly sizzling then take ¼ cup of batter and pour into the pan in a circle shape. Allow to cook for around 3 minutes or until the top of the pancake begins to bubble. Flip the pancake over and cook for another two minutes until both sides are golden brown. If the pancakes are browning too quick then reduce the heat.
- Remove the pancake and place on a plate then repeat the process until all the batter is used up. If your frying pan is large, you can do two at a time. Grease the pan with the butter oil mixture as required.Serve with your favourite topping.
