Ingredients:
– 2 cups of flour
– 2 tablespoons of sugar
– 2 teaspoons of baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– 2 eggs
– 1 and 1/2 cups of milk
– 2 tablespoons of melted butter
– Lemon wedges and sugar (to serve)
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the centre of the mixture.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan, making pancakes of whatever size you prefer.
5. Cook the pancakes for a few minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look dry. Flip the pancake over and cook for a further minute or until golden brown.
6. Once you’ve cooked as many pancakes as you need, serve them with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar.
