Description

These Giant Pancakes are fluffy and golden, perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch. Made with simple pantry ingredients and cooked in a non-stick pan, they offer a classic taste with the option to top with fresh strawberries, icing sugar, and golden syrup for added sweetness and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups plain flour
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp milk

For Cooking and Serving

  • 1 tsp butter
  • Sliced strawberries (optional)
  • Golden syrup (optional)
  • Icing sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl and whisk briefly to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the vanilla essence, egg, and milk into the dry mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a 25cm (10-inch) non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Use an egg flip to spread the melted butter thoroughly across the pan’s surface.
  4. Remove Excess Butter: Use a paper towel to wipe the pan carefully, leaving a thin, even coating of butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour Batter: Pour half of the pancake batter into the pan, swirling to evenly cover the base of the pan with a thin layer.
  6. Cook First Side: Cook the pancake until numerous bubbles appear on the surface. Check the underside by lifting the edge; when it’s golden brown (about 2 minutes), it’s ready to flip.
  7. Flip and Cook Other Side: Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. The second side cooks faster and should be lightly golden.
  8. Repeat: Remove the cooked pancake from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter. No additional butter is needed for subsequent pancakes.
  9. Serve: Optionally, top the giant pancakes with sliced strawberries, sprinkle with icing sugar, and serve golden syrup on the side for drizzling.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan for best results and to avoid sticking.
  • Swirling the batter evenly ensures even cooking and a consistent pancake thickness.
  • The bubbles on the surface are a key indicator that the pancake is ready to flip.
  • Do not overload the pan to prevent uneven cooking and breakage.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Golden syrup can be substituted with maple syrup if preferred.
