Pancakes (Clone of Pancake Parlour)

I got this recipe from a friend (Helen) whose roommate used to work at the Pancake Parlour. They are wonderful and can be eaten as a savoury dish or as a dessert.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 9 pancakes

Ingredients

• 2  eggs
• 4  teaspoons baking powder
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 cups milk
• 2  cups plain flour

Directions

1. Beat eggs and then add baking powder, sugar, salt and milk. You can use a hand-held mixer if you wish.
2. Then add flour all at once and mix with a WOODEN SPOON only until batter is fairly smooth.
3. Set aside until you see small bubbles forming on top of the dough.
4. Heat a frying pan with a light coating of oil and test temperature by dropping a teaspoon of batter into the centre of the pan. When it turns golden brown the temperature is right.
5. Add a ladle full of batter in the centre of the pan and cook until bubbles appear, then flip and cook other side until golden brown.
6. Keep warm and serve with warmed maple syrup or honey and ice-cream.
7. You can also serve this with grated cheese and ham, which you place over the pancake while the second side is cooking until it melts. (It's fabulous).
