Great Granma's Scotch pancakes......

This recipe is based on my great grandmother's pancake recipe.

Ingredients:

1-2 eggs
3 level tablespoons of sugar or honey (if using honey, stir in once milk has been added)
3 heaped tablespoons of self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
milk (can use milk that is turning sour)

butter to grease pan

the extras:
ground mixed spice
cinnamon powder
lemon zest
lemon juice
vanilla extract

Method

Simply mix all the dry ingredients together, add the eggs and mix in the milk gradually to get the right consistency. The mix should be on the thick side, not too runny. Then add any vanilla, zest or other extras, leaving lemon juice to last if wanted.

Have your frying pan pre-heated on a lowish heat and lightly grease with butter before pouring or spooning your mix into the pan.

I like to then cover the pan with a lid, frequently checking to see if there are air bubbles forming.
once all the air bubbles have burst leaving clear holes, your pancake is ready to be turned. Let it lightly toast and then its done!

Don't worry if they don't turn out perfect first time, it just takes practice.

My family like eating their pancakes with maple syrup, fresh and tinned fruit or with baked beans.

Happy eating
