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.
