Pancakes on Sundays

 Pancakes are just one of those things that make me instantly happy and I always associate them with lazy Sunday mornings. Making Pancakes on a Sunday started with my mum and has now become a bit of a tradition. I use a simple recipe from Bill’s Basics by Bill Grainger and change the toppings depending on what is in season and what I have laying around the house.

Ingredients:

·         2 tablespoons lemon juice

·         300ml milk

·         1  1/3 cups of flour

·         3 teaspoons baking powder

·         2 tablespoons caster sugar

·         2 eggs

·         30 grams of melted butter

·         Pinch of sea salt

Method:

Adding lemon juice to the milk makes a great buttermilk substitute. Stir together the lemon juice and the milk and leave for 5 minutes. Stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, melted butter and a pinch of sea salt. Stir in the milk with lemon juice.

Heat a large non stick fry pan over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Use 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Cook the pancakes for 2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then turn over and cook for 1 minute. Keep warm on the plate while you cook the rest.
