This is a recipe my Nana use to make for me every pancake day when I was a little girl and you really can't beat it. They're delicious!
When I was back home for pancake day this year, I asked her to make it for me while I jotted down the recipe.
(Serves 4 hungry people)
1
Beat together the eggs in a mixing bowl and then add the milk.
2
Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. (There's no need to sift).
3
Combine the flour and the egg mixture and beat together with an electric whisk until smooth.
4
Pour your batter in to a jug and get your funnel out, ready to use.
5
Heat cooking oil in a pan. Hold your finger over the bottom of the funnel and fill the funnel with the batter.
6
When the pan is hot, remove your finger from the bottom of the funnel and let the batter drizzel out - move the funnel in a circular motion to create nice big spirals.
Using a finger to cover the bottom opening of a funnel, pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel. Remove finger and release batter into hot oil moving funnel in a circular motion to form spiral. Fry until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels.
7
Cook the pancake until golden on the bottom and then flip over.
A good trick I found was to drizzle a little oil in the pan while the pancakes are cooking.
8
Serve hot with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
