Pancakes

February 5th 2009 00:44

What to do when you feel like a hearty breakfast, but you forgot to buy bread yesterday, and you don't want to be rude to the chickens... but you've kinda done the egg thing a lot lately..... Pancakes!

This pancake recipe is one of my favourites and I find it works best if you leave the batter to rest for a while (even overnight).

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 pinch bicarb soda
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbs caster sugar

Mix all ingredients together well. Ladel a small amount into a hot, buttered frying pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip. Continue cooking until soild through. Repeat with remaining batter.

There are lots of options for pancake toppings. I love to use lemon and sugar, or maple syrup and cream, or jam and cream. I've also had them spread with butter and vegemite, which although it sounds a little odd, is actually really good.

yum, this looks really good. But I find I can't have pancakes without the works - bacon, eggs and maple syrup.

My favourite pub (The Mallala Hotel - go there if you ever get the chance), does breakfast on Sundays, and they do fantastic pancakes, with fresh fruit , maple syrup and icecream.

I usually so "no icecream, can I have bacon instead". Delicious! With that breakfast, I barely need to eat until the next day.

Of course if you never visit South Australia, you'll never get the chance to drop in for a meal and drink. But if you are ever around The Mallala region, drop in it's definitely worth it.

Thanks Aimzster - I think I leave the works for a brunch (with no plans for other meals during the day)!!

Hi Carolyn, I'm in the Adelaide Hills - will have to look out for that one next time I'm headed that way.
