Ingredients

1 ½ cups plain/ cake flour

3 generous tsps baking powder

1 scant tsp ground cinnamon

1 scant tsp salt

1 Tbsp sugar

3 Tbsp melted butter

1 extra large egg

1 ¼ cups full cream milk

Method

Sift flour in a large bowl, add the baking powder, cinnamon, salt and sugar and stir.

Melt the butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Beat the egg lightly. Add the egg, milk, and melted butter to the mixture and whisk until well combined.

Heat a little oil over a moderate heat and drop about a quarter cup of the mixture in, leaving plenty of space between them in the pan so that they don’t join up.

Watch for a couple of minutes and turn before they start to brown too much. The second side cooks in seconds.

TGIFood Tip: Add more sugar when mixing if you prefer a sweeter pancake. DM/TGIFood
