Nana and Payesin's pancakes

 

Introduction

Payesin!! 

Hey there my darling Grandaughter,

I'm so glad you remembered that I said I would post our pancake recipe online so you can make these at home.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1.5 cups of milk
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• Butter

Method

Put the sugar and eggs in a bowl and whisk them or use the cake mixer (remember to stop the mixer before you lift the beaters out of the batter).

When the mixture is nice and fluffy you are ready to add all the other ingredients.

Lift the beaters out of the bowl and put a sieve over the bowl then tip in the flour and baking powder. Take the sieve away and add the milk then mix again. Then stop mixing and don't mix the batter again. Put the beaters in the sink.

Put the cast iron frying pan on the stove and turn the dial to number 5. When its really hot (remember not to touch it - you'll probably be able to 'see' that its hot) you will be ready to cook the pancakes.

Put a bit of butter in the pan then using a soup ladle put a ladle full of batter into the middle of the pan. It will run out by itself but if it doesn't then the batter might be a bit too thick and need a little bit more milk which you can gently mix in. (a quarter of a cup of milk).

Watch for bubbles and when its about half covered in bubbles carefully flip it over using the spatula. If its a bit black then turn the oven down to 4.5. After a few minutes put the pancake onto the plate. Make your next pancake and keep stacking them up on top of each other.

Remember the first one is never a good one so its the 'Cooks Prerogative'. You can eat it with butter while cooking all the rest of the pancakes.

When you are finished cooking make sure you turn the oven off and move the frying pan to the back of the stove to cool down.
