Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups plain flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

  • 1 large egg (about 50–55g in shell)
  • 3/4 cup milk (full-fat is best, but any type works)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence or vanilla powder (optional)

For cooking

  • 2 teaspoons butter

To serve

  • Strawberry jam
  • Whipped cream

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Make a well in the center, then add the egg, milk, and vanilla, whisking until the batter is smooth and thick like honey.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat, then wipe out the excess with a paper towel so only a thin layer remains.
  • Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan, shaping them into 3-inch rounds, and cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden, about 1 minute, then repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter only if needed.
  • Serve warm with jam and whipped cream.
