Homemade Pancakes. Enough said.

These pancakes are my favourite. They are thick, fluffy and pairs well with some good ole' butter and maple syrup. It is the only pancake recipe you will ever need. Period. You can say goodbye to those box mix now. 

Homemade Pancakes

Serves 2
3 eggs, separated
115 g plain flour
1 heaped tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon (you can omit this)
140 ml milk

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Flavouring (choose any or use none for plain pancakes)
chocolate chips
chocolate rice
blueberries
chopped strawberries
sweet corn
bananas

• In one bowl add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, milk, vanilla and yolk together and mix till you get a smooth thick batter. 
• With a hand mixer, whisk the whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks. 
• Fold the whites into the batter (Your pancake mixture is complete)
• Heat a good non-stick pan on a medium heat. (MAKE SURE ITS NON-STICK!)
• Scoop some of your batter into the pan and fry till golden brown and firm.
• At this point sprinkle your chosen flavouring on to the uncooked side before loosening with a spatula and flipping the pancake over. 
• Continue frying until both sides are a nice golden brown.
• Make the pancakes large or small entirely to your preference.
• Serve warm with maple syrup.

Quick tip: For perfectly cooked pancakes, flip not when you see bubbles BUT when those bubbles POP.

Now you know the tricks, your turn to try them out!
