- Be careful not to over mix them and it is ok if you have a some lumps in the batter.
- Heat a frying pan on low medium heat and melt a bit of butter in it.
- When the butter starts sizzling add in about half a ladle of the batter mixture.
- Cook until the top of the pancake is full of bubbles and the bottom is golden.
- Then turn the pancakes over and cook till golden too.
- Keep pancakes warm in oven till you have finished frying the rest.
- Serve with various toppings.
Notes
Butter can burn very quickly so keep and eye on this when frying pancakes.[br]After frying the first batch of pancakes the frying pan might get too hot, which would burn the pancakes. I normally take the frying pan off the heat for about 30 seconds to cool it down before starting the next batch. If I don’t use up all the batter I store it in the fridge and use it the next day. You might need to add in a tbsp of milk and a pinch of baking powder. I some times add in cinnamon, all spice or ginger bread spice instead.
