Description 

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)


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    Beat together the eggs in a mixing bowl and then add the milk.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. (There's no need to sift).


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Combine the flour and the egg mixture and beat together with an electric whisk until smooth.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Pour your batter in to a jug and get your funnel out, ready to use.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Heat cooking oil in a pan. Hold your finger over the bottom of the funnel and fill the funnel with the batter.


  6. 6
    Step 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. 7
    Step 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. 8
    Step 8

    Serve hot with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
