Breakfast Exploration ::: Pancakes lover! - Home-made Butter Milk Pancake Batter

Our 2012 journey begins, wish everyone all the best!

Starting this year post with home-made butter milk pancakes. Yea! Not from the box. Not pre-mixed. Something that you can make at home instead of going to Paddington's pancake house and pay for these fluffy pancakes.


What you need:

375ml Dairy Farmers Buttermilk (Package as below picture)


1 1/2 cups of Flour
2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
2 tablespoon of Castor Sugar
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Melted Butter

Sift the Flour & Baking Powder into a deep plate/bowl. Take a whisk and make a whole in the middle of the flour. Just like the picture below.


Put the Melted Butter, Castor Sugar in the hole.


Then add the egg in too.

Slowly whisk from inside out, this will ensure no pocket of flours will appear after you finish.


Continue until the mixture is combine. Then add in the butter milk in part by part and continue mixing till you get the normal consistency batter, that is partially thick.

Leave the batter for 15mins.

Heat your non-stick pan and wipe some butter on the surface of the pan. Choose a lid to scoop the amount of batter to make your desire pancake size. When the top starts bubbling, let it stay a while more till the sides starts drying up a little. Then it's time to flip it over! Both sides should be golden brown.

Serve with Maple syrup. However, Honey will do too for healthier reasons.

**You can make this batter a day before and keep in in the fridge. Or cook your pancakes immediately to consume & serve.**


Enjoy!
