Ingredients

Pancake Mix

  • 150 g wholemeal flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 250ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for the pan)


Healthy Toppings (choose 2)

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 apple, grated
  • Small handful blueberries
  • Small handful strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons plain yoghurt
  • Small drizzle honey (optional)


Chef's Tip


Always wash your hands very well before cooking or baking.


Whisk the batter until there are no lumps!




Method



1. Make the batter

  • Put the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
  • Crack the eggs into the bowl.
  • Pour in the milk.
  • Mix with a whisk or fork until the batter is smooth.


2. Prepare the pan

  • Put the frying pan on the hob.
  • Turn the heat to medium.
  • Add a small amount of oil and spread it around the pan.


3. Pour the pancakes

  • Use a spoon or small ladle to pour small circles of batter into the pan.
  • Leave space between each pancake.


4. Wait patiently

  • Cook for about 1–2 minutes.
  • Look for small bubbles on the top of the pancake.
  • This means it is ready to flip.


5. Flip the pancake

  • Slide the spatula under the pancake.
  • Carefully turn it over.
  • Cook for another 1 minute until golden.


6. Add toppings

  • Put the pancakes on a plate.
  • Add fruit, yoghurt, or a little honey.


Cooking reminders

  • Pancakes cook best on medium heat
  • Wait for bubbles before flipping
  • Flip slowly and carefully
  • Be patient — rushing can break the pancake
