Ingredients
  

  • 300 gram plain flour 2 cups
  • 60 gram sugar fine ( 4 tablespoons)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 400 ml milk 1 3/4 cups
  • 2 whole large eggs
  • 60 ml oil 1/4 cup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar white
  • Oil spray or butter. Your choice

Instructions
 

  • Put the dry ingredients into a bowl (big enough to hold ALL the ingredients) and whisk together.
  • Put the wet ingredients into a bowl and whisk together.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and gently mix together till just combined and there are no dry lumps.
  • It is ready to use as is.
  • Heat a non stick frypan. Add a spray of oil or a 1/2 teaspoon of butter and let it melt. The pan shouldn't smoke heavily. If it does turn it down a little. Add a small amount of mixture and see how quickly it forms bubbles and starts to brown underneath. (By starting with a small amount you can test the temperature).
  • Ideally the pancake should be very bubbly. Loosen the edges and run the spatula underneath. Turn the pancake. It should be golden on the first side. Now turned it will rise a ittle and finish cooking on the second side. Flipping over 1 more time can ensure that all uncooked bits get finished.
  • Now re-grease the pan and start again.
  • Put your pancakes onto a plate and stack to keep warm. When all the mix is finished ( should make 6-8 large pancakes) Put the pancakes onto individual plates and decorate with fruit, nuts,seeds and syrup and serve with yoghurt, cream, mascapone, whipped ricotta or icecream!
