A little something for the morning :)

I know it's a bit early and some of you haven't even had dinner yet but what about a fab recipe for American pancakes, perfect with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning...my sons favourite :)

200g self raising flour 1 tsp baking powder Pinch of salt 1 tbsp caster sugar (can omit this if you desire) 1 egg 300ml milk Knob of butter (melted) Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and pinch of salt in a bowl. Beat the egg in the milk and make a well in the dry ingredients and pour milk/egg mixture and whisk. Add the melted butter to the mixture and mix well.
Heat a frying pan with a little butter and oil and as it gets to the required heat, pour the oil/butter into a small bowl to leave a dry-ish pan. With a ladle, spoon onto the pan the mixture, spacing apart so that you can get individual pancakes. Once small air bubbles appear on the top (a couple of minutes) they are ready to be turned over, repeat on this side and remove from pan onto a warmed plate. Continue with the rest of the mixture.
You can also put any left over mixture in the fridge covered with cling film until the following day Enjoy :))
