Ingredients

8 pancakes

    Method

    1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
    2. Whisk the milk, egg and melted butter in a jug.
    3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Rest for 5 minutes.
    4. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Pour in about 60 ml batter per pancake.
    5. Cook until bubbles appear and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 1 minute more.
    6. Serve stacked with maple syrup and berries.
    Cook's tip: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the batch.
