EZ Plain Pancakes

Very easy to prepare and simple pancakes for breakfast or tea time.  

You only need 2 bowls, one for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients.

Ingredients
[makes 10-12 pieces]
Dry Ingredients - mix together to combine
130 gm all purpose flour - sifted
2 tbsp [30 gm] sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients - whisk together to combine
240 ml skimmed milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 large egg
1.   Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.  Gradually pour in the wet ingredients.  Just stir lightly to combine well but not to develop glutton.  It's okay if there are a few lumps.  Rest for 15 minutes [you can prepare this batter earlier, keep in covered container and leave in the refrigerator until later use.
2.   Lightly oil a griddle or non stick pan on medium heat.  Use a small scoop [about the size of ice cream scoop] to ladle batter onto heated pan.  Turn over to fry the other side when the bottom is brown and edges are firm.
3.   Remove from pan to cool separately on a tray.  Do not stack the pancakes while still hot.
4.   Serve pancakes warm with either whipped cream and fresh fruits or just maple syrup,  butter and jam or plain with a hot beverage.

Notes:
Pancakes can be prepared ahead and  refrigerate.  Toast pancakes before serving.

  2. Hi Phong Hong, it's easy yet nice for a change. Soft and moist. Goes well with any sweet or savoury filling.
