Servings: 10 pancakes
Calories: 98kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g gluten free self raising flour
- 250 ml milk or dairy free alternative
- 1 egg(s)
- 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Caster sugar
Instructions
- Crack the egg into a jug and combine the caster sugar and a tablespoon of the weighed flour using a whisk into a runny paste.
- Continue to add the remaining flour and milk taking it in turns until you achieve a thick batter texture. Doing it this way in stages will prevent lumps of flour from forming.
- Add the lemon and bicarbonate of soda last and allow batter to rest for at least 10 mins. The batter will feel like a loose cake batter at this stage. After 10mins the batter will have thickened and filled with little bubbles. Don't be tempted to stir it.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan on a medium heat. Too hot and your first side will burn as this needs the longest to ensure an easy flip onto the other side.
- No need for any fat in the pan (unless you don't trust you pan), simply spoon 2 dessert spoons of batter into the pan, if your pan is not flat bottomed you'll only achieve perfect circles in you cook one at a time.
- I find that teasing the dollops of pancake mixture (using the dessert spoon) into the desired size is the best way to achieve perfect results every time.
- Wait for bubbles to appear on the surface and pop, be patient, this will take about 5 mins. Once bubbles have popped you're good to turn your pancake over, the second side will need only 20-30 seconds.
- Layer on a plate and enjoy with a multitude choice of toppings - enjoy!
