HOME MADE INSTANT PANCAKE MIX

I find this a real life-safer. I so often have crowds of children sleeping over at the weekend, so I make a container full of this and then I just have to whisk in egg, milk and melted butter to a cupful whenever I need a breakfast's worth of pancakes. Serve with the syrup of your choice.

FOR THE PANCAKE MIX:

  • 600g flour
  • 3 x 15ml tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 40g vanilla or caster sugar

TO MAKE THE BATTER AND THE PANCAKES:

  • For each 150g pancake mix, add and whisk together:
  • 1 egg
  • 250ml semi-skimmed or full-fat milk

Method

Serves: Makes about 15 pancakes
  1. For the Pancake mix: Mix all the ingredients together and store in a jar.
  2. When ready to make the pancakes, proceed as follows: Heat a flat griddle or pan with no oil.
  3. Spoon drops of 1 1/2-2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle or into the pan and, when bubbles appear on the surface of the little pancakes, flip them over to make them golden brown on both sides. A minute or so a side should do it.

  • Ever since I found this recipe I have kept a container ready mixed in my pantry. So handy. As New Zealanders have a really sweet tooth, I usually add a little sugar to the mix. Delicious.

  • For Canadian folks (or just those who like a little Canadiana), try adding a touch of cinnamon to the mix and using pure maple sugar instead of caster sugar. Fabulous!
