Traditional pancakes made easy

Nostalgic eating: pancakes filled with cinnamon and sugar 

There aren’t many of us who can resist a pancake; the simplicity of a warm, light treat filled with crunchy treacle sugar and cinnamon or spread with syrup and clotted cream. Not just a dessert though, pancakes are also delicious served with warming, savoury filling.

Ingredients
1½ cups flour (375ml)
2 eggs
600ml milk
pinch of salt

Method
Mix all the ingredients until bubbles form on the top of the mixture.  Then simply pour into a non-stick pan on medium heat. Flip the pancake once bubbles have formed on the surface.

Suggested fillings
Cinnamon and sugar
Syrup and whipped cream
Bananas and whipped cream
Nutella and strawberries
Lemon juice and brown sugar
Cinnamon ice cream or just plain vanilla
Savoury mince
Spinach and feta

Tip: The pancake mixture can be kept in the fridge for a week.
