Fluffy Pancakes

This is by far the best pancake recipe I've ever tried.  The pancakes are light and fluffy.  Although ideally served as breakfast with maple syrup and butter, you can also whipped up these easy pancakes for snack anytime of the day with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

Pancakes (Yield 6 - 7 pieces) 


Ingredients:

1 cup                  Self-Raising Flour
1/4 cup               Sugar
1/4 tsp               Salt
1/4 tsp               Bicarbonate Soda
1 1/4 cup            Buttermilk*
1                       Egg
40g                    Butter, melted

*Substitute for buttermilk - Add 1 1/4 tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 1/4 cup
  of milk. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes before use.


Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, sift self-raising flour.  Mix in sugar, salt and bicarbonate soda.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk with egg and melted butter.
  3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.  Pour buttermilk mixture into the well gradually and stir in flour gently using your finger or a spatula.  Do not over mix the batter or the pancake will be thick and hard.  The ready batter should have some tiny lumps of flour in it.
  4. Heat up a non-stick pan and brush a little butter on it.  Scoop a ladle full of batter into the pan and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side. 
  5. Serve with maple syrup and butter or any other toppings of your choice.
