Servings 4
Ingredients
- 100 g Plain Flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tbsp Caster sugar
- 1 Egg separated
- 150 mls Semi-skimmed milk
- 25 g Butter
- 1 Grated zest of a small lemon
- Handful of raisins or currants
Instructions
- Sift the flour, baking powder and caster sugar into a large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre and quickly stir in the egg yolk, milk, lemon zest and melted butter with a wooden spoon.
- Whisk the egg white until it forms stiff peaks and quickly fold into the mixture.
- Heat and lightly grease a griddle pan (or frying pan if you don’t have one).
- The pan is the right temperature when a drop of water splutters on the surface.
- Using a small ladle or batter dispenser drop enough batter onto the griddle to form pancakes of about 7cm (3 in) in size.
- Sprinkle a few raisins/currants onto the wet batter. Making 3 at a time works well.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and they look slightly dry, turn and cook the other side until golden brown.
- When cooked, either serve immediately, keep warm on a plate covered with foil over a pan of simmering water or serve cold.
- Top with butter, jam, honey, syrup or lemon curd.
- Should make 12 pancakes depending on size.
