Everybody is familiar with pancakes and French toast, some have heard of scones, but there are other similar and slightly less familiar Anglo-Saxon batter recipes, for example pikelets.
Another quick fix for Saturday morning that the kids (and adults) can enjoy.
The combination of a little sodium bicarbonate with vinegar causes a swift light rising during the cooking, producing an interesting volume that does not exist in most pancakes.
Ingredients (for approx. 20 pieces) – multiply by 2 or 3 if you have more than 1 kid
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp sodium bicarbonate
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vinegar
1 tbsp. oil
Preparation
Mix everything in a blender
Heat a lightly oiled/buttered heavy frying pan on low heat
Pour mixture into pan in quantities of 2-3 tsp
Turn over when bubbles start to burst (underside should be brown)
Leave for approx. 30 sec. and remove
Comments
Do NOT turn back over!
Double the amount easily fits in a blender (some blenders can take a triple batch)
Tastes great as-is, and also with jam, honey, sugar & cinnamon, maple syrup, and whipped cream – in short – Yummy!
