Win the breakfast game.
Pancakes – the pinnacle of deliciousness. Where breakfast meets dessert, in a good way. No matter who you are, where you are, nobody is able to resist a good ol’ pancake. It’s comfort food.
If you’re lazy to whip out all the pots and pans to make a complicated first meal of the day, fret not – we’ve got you covered. All you need to make these bad boys is a cup. It’s as easy as ABC and you’ll be headed back to bed on a satisfied stomach in no time. Ditch the weighing scales, let’s get down to business.
Here’s how to make one-cup pancakes the right way.
Ingredients :
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 large egg or 2 medium eggs
- 20g butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
- Caster sugar and lemon wedges, to serve (optional)
Steps :
- Tip the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk and egg. Whisk together, starting in the middle, to create a smooth batter. It should be the thickness of double cream.
- Heat a little of the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add a sixth of the batter to the pan, quickly swirling it so there are no holes. Fry on one side for 1-2 mins then flip over and cook for a further 1 min. Keep on a plate, covered, in a warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter to make six pancakes in total. Serve with sugar and lemon, if you like.
And voila! You now have yourself the breakfast of champions!
