PANCAKES

This year the year 6 girls in Group B made mouth-watering pancakes in My Environment. They were fabulous like us; we used milk, self-raising flour, eggs, butter and even salt. It took a lot of hard recipe following and team work. While we were making the pancakes we were constantly drooling and very tempted to just eat the batter. Once they were finally done we ate them like hungry beasts. SO DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:

300g (2 cups) self-raising flour

Pinch of salt

500ml (2 cups) milk

2 eggs

60g butter, melted

 butter, extra, to grease

Method:

1.    Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.  Make a well in the centre.

2.    Whisk together the milk and eggs in a large jug. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms.  Stir in the melted butter.

3.    Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.  Brush with a little of the extra melted butter to lightly grease.

4.    Pour 80ml (1/3 cup) of the batter into the pan to form a circle pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the pancake is golden underneath.  Turn and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until golden.

5.    Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean dry tea towel to keep warm.

6.    Repeat steps 3 to 5 with remaining batter.

7.    Top with maple syrup, OR lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar to taste.
