This is a great, classic base for your pancake mix. Once you feel confident with this you can vary it to your heart's content - try using buckwheat flour or whole-wheat flour to increase the fibre content, mix in some chia seeds, oats or pumpkin seeds for a nutritious boost, or play around with stirring in berries, applesauce or a wide range of other fillings.

What to do
-
-
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the beaten eggs, melted butter and milk and whisk together. The mixture should be a pouring consistency.
-
Melt some butter on the pan until it foams and sizzles. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and cook until the top of the pancake is full of bubbles and the bottom is golden brown.
-
Flip the pancake and cook the other side. About a minute on each side should be all you need.
-
Serve with toppings of your choice.
