Serves 4
Preparation time
25 min Ingredients
-
150gplain flour
-
1/2tspsalt
-
1tbspbaking powder
-
1tbspcaster sugar
-
225mlsemi skimmed milk
-
1eggs lightly beaten
-
30gmelted and left to cool slightly Buttery Taste Spread
Method
- Sift the flour into a large bowl, and then add the salt, baking powder and caster sugar. Mix them all together thoroughly.
- Pour in the milk, beaten egg and cooled melted Benecol Buttery spread.
- Whisk well until the batter is completely smooth. If you have any lumps remaining, they will soon disappear. Let the batter stand for a few minutes before using.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Most non-stick pans won’t need to be greased, but if yours does, just add a little cooking oil.
- When the pan is hot, add a ladle of the thick batter to the pan. If your pan is big enough, you can cook 2 or even 3 pancakes at the same time.
- Leave it for a minute or so, until you start to see bubbles forming on the top of the pancake.
- Then flip the pancake over carefully, and cook for another minute until the pancake is golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat until you’ve used all of the batter. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven if you want to serve them all at the same time, but they taste best when you eat them fresh from the pan!
- Tip
If you’re serving this for breakfast or brunch, you can get ahead by doing some of the preparation the night before.
