Delicious served with crispy bacon and maple syrup. Makes 8-10 pancakes

Ingredients

• 150g self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp caster sugar

Method

4. Your batter will be quite thick return the batter to your measuring jug so that its easy to pour the mixture onto the pan.  Or you could just put all your ingredients into a blender and whizz, this is my preferred method.
5. Heat your frying pan and add some butter, keep the heat medium, pour small amounts from the jug onto the pan when you see bubbles forming on the top of each pancake its safe to turn them.
6. Give the pancakes another minute or two and serve with some crispy bacon and maple syrup.
