This morning I was in the mood for something sweet and so I scoured through my mums old hand written recipe file and came across this great pancake recipe. It’s a real quick and simple breakfast classic.
These aren’t crepes but Scotch pancakes which are thicker and because of the baking soda puffy and airfilled.
Hope you like it!
Eat them freshly made or toasted with jam, chocolate spread or spread thickly with lemon curd (my particular favourite).
BREAKFAST PANCAKES
INGREDIENTS
- 3 Cups Plain flour (sieved)
- 1 Tbsp Baking powder
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Melted butter
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 Cups Milk
PREPARATION
- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a dry bowl, mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients and wisk thoroughly until smooth, add further milk if required as the batter should be smooth, lump free but thick (should leave ribbons in the mix).
- Heat a non-stick skillet and cook the pancakes in batches for a couple of minutes on each side. When air bubbles rise to the surface flip them and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Serve smothered with butter, jam, lemon curd or chocolate spread.
As an alternative, omit the sugar, make the pancakes bitesize and spread with hummas, tapanade or other savoury spread to make great finger food.

Those pancakes look perfect!
I could really get addicted to those!
Hi,
Are they just baked in the pan without oil? 
these pancakes does not seem fried in oil to me
You don’t fry them in oil but merely wipe the surface of the non stick pan with a little oil to ensure the pancakes don’t stick.
mmm I see, as traditional pancakes, right?
thanks for sharing !
nice food blog you have, btw
best regards!
Thanks Alita, hope you visit again soon!
I’ll hopefully be posting new recipes soon once we get into a routine with our baby son and our visitors have all been and gone.
Pamela, you may need to recheck the amount of flour needed to make pancakes. I used your amounts and my batter was still solid. I noticed that your PB Pancakes used half the amount.
i luv ur pancaks, but i don’t have an egg do you have a substitute i can use?
Sorry, no idea what you could use instead
