Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 whisk or fork
  • 1 non-stick frying pan approx 18-20cm
  • heatproof spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g plain flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 300 ml soya milk (or other dairy free milk)
  • 1/2 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil plus extra for frying
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Making batter by hand.

  • Sieve 100g of plain flour in a mixing bowl
  • Add the pinch of salt and give it a quick stir to mix.
  • Add two beaten eggs to the flour and mix to a rough paste with the whisk.
  • Add half a tablespoon of your chosen oil to 300ml of dairy free milk.
  • Add a small amount of the liquid to the flour and egg mixture and mix in.
  • Continue adding small amounts of liquid at a time and mixing with a whisk. If you add small amounts at a time you should end up with a lump free batter, ready for cooking.

Making batter with blender or food processor.

  • Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl and add to your blender together with the eggs, dairy free milk and oil.

Cooking

  • Add the tiniest drop of oil to a frying pan and heat until very hot. Alternatively, add some oil to a piece of kitchen roll and wipe the pan with it.
  • Once the oil is very hot, add between 1-2 tablespoons of the batter to the pan. Gently swirl the pan so the batter coats the base of the pan and let cook until the batter starts to set and tiny bubbles rise to the surface. This will be approximately 1 minute depending on how high your heat is, how much batter you added to the pan and how thick your pancake batter is.
  • Once you see lots of tiny bubbles and the batter is setting, then using a heatproof spatula turn the pancake over and cook the other side. You can lift the edge to see if it is cooked and turning a little golden in colour in places.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm on a heatproof plate covered with a saucepan lid over some simmering water until you are ready to serve.
  • Serve with toppings of your choice and enjoy!
