This famous pancake recipe has become a summery breakfast and brunch favourite among all my friends.

Whether topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of syrup, or a pat of butter, they never fail to impress and always leave everyone asking for seconds!
Ingredients
Method
-
Melt the butter and set it aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the
flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla
extract. (Don’t worry if the butter solidifies slightly).
-
Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour in the milk
mixture and stir gently with a fork until the flour is just
incorporated. A few small lumps are okay. As the batter sits, it should
start to bubble.
- Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sprinkle in a few drops of water to test if it’s ready. Brush the skillet with a little butter.
- Scoop the batter onto the skillet and cook each side for 2 minutes until golden and cooked in the middle.
