AVOCA Buttermilk Pancakes
Makes approx. 12 pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, plus 1 extra yolk
- 225g plain flour
- 1 dessertspoon of sugar
- pinch of salt
- 200ml buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- sieved butter, for frying
Method
- Whisk the eggs and extra yolk into the flour. Add the sugar and salt and stir in the buttermilk along with the melted butter and baking powder, and a little extra water if required. You are aiming for a consistency similar to whipped cream.
- Depending on your flour, you may need to add a little more or less water. Test by spooning a little bit of the batter onto a lightly oiled frying pan - it should hold its shape well.
- Heat a suitable pan lightly brushed with oil. When hot, pour in just enough batter depending on the size you require. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear on top. Flip over and cook the other side until lightly browned. As you cook them, keep the pancakes warm piled on a plate in a warm oven for up to 30 minutes.
- Serve with your favourite toppings and enjoy!
