Ingredients

1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp sodium bicarbonate baking soda
115 g (1 cup) plain flour
½ tsp grated nutmeg or to taste
Pinch of salt
160 ml (¾ cup) milk
2 eggs
Butter for frying

Instructions

Add baking powder and sodium bicarbonate into a mixing bowl
Then add in flour, nutmeg and a pinch of salt
Next pour in the milk and break in the two eggs
Use a whisk (or fork) to mix the ingredients till they are combined into a thick batter.
Careful not to over mix and it is ok if you have a some lumps in the batter
Heat a frying pan on low medium heat and melt a small knob 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 and enjoy.

Notes

Butter can burn very quickly so keep and eye on this when frying pancakes.

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.[br] Feel free to vary and adjust spices to your taste.
