Ingredients

Dry ingredients (can prepare in advance and store)

  • 2 cups plain white flour
  • ¼ cup caster sugar
  • 4 tsps baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups full cream milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter (this is around 60-70g)
  • 3 tsps pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp combined wet + dry pancake batter (after mixing above together)

Instructions

  • Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl and whisk to ensure an even distribution of all ingredients. Optional: store the dry ingredients in a container or ziplock until needed
  • Makea well in the centre and add MOST (90%) of the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
  • Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).
  • Add in more milk if the batter is too thick, or if you want thinner pancakes.
  • Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
  • Optional: mix all of the Cinnamon Swirl ingredients together, and ensure it is runny enough to pour from a jug.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over low-medium heat and add a good chunk of butter to grease pan.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan andspread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup. If using a smaller pan, a more runny batter will be easier.
  • Optional: pour in some of the cinnamon swirl on top of the pancake.
  • When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. If you have excellent skills, just flip it without a spatula – washing up be damned.
  • Serve with maple syrup, fruit, sugar & lemon or however you like.
