The recipe here fulfils your morning cravings for a delicious start. It can also fit in the menu at any time of the day because you will never get tired of it. The pancakes are a combination of French fineness and Canadian richness. These pancakes are thicker than crepes but thinner than the regular pancakes most of us are used to.
Ingredients
- White flour: 1 cup
- 2% milk: 1 cup
- Lard, butter or margarine (for cooking purposes)
- Sugar: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
- Egg: 1
- Vanilla extract or substitute: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Make the batter first. Take the large mixing bowl and pour in all the ingredients except the flour, milk and the cooking butter.
- Now add in the milk and flour, gradually to prevent any lumps in the batter. Use a whip or an electric mixer to mix everything together so that you have a smooth batter.
- Place your frying pan on the stove and turn on the heat. Place in the butter or margarine you want to fry your pancake in. Let it melt well.
- Fill up a ladle with the batter and pour it into the frying pan. Spread around the mixture around the pan evenly in a circular motion.
- When you see the butter underneath making bubbles, it is an indication that the bottom side has cooked. Flip over your pancake and cook the other side too.
- When the other side is done too, take off your pancake in a serving platter. Enjoy with syrup or jam of your choice.
