Scotch or Scottish Pancakes

Step 1

Rub your frying pan with a little oil and heat on a medium heat until the pan is really hot.

Step 2

Sift your flour into a large bowl, then pour in the sugar and salt and gently mix together.

Step 3

Whisk your milk and egg together. Make a well in the middle of your flour and pour the egg mixture in. Whisk the flour into the egg until well combined.

Step 4

Try a teaspoon full of your batter in your frying pan, to test if it is hot enough. It should bubble up in less than a minute, then cook on the other side for just a few seconds. You should have a teeny golden pancake.

Step 5

Now cook off the rest of your batter. Each pancake is made from a tablespoon of batter. They will take about 3 minutes each. Turn them when they start to bubble.

Step 6

You can have a sneak peek underneath using a palette knife to check it they are ready to turn. I can cook 3 at a time in my frying pan. You have to make sure there is room between them.

Step 7

Serve the pancakes with your favourite toppings. I love maple syrup and bananas with mine.

Step 8

Enjoy!
