Dry Ingredients
- 150g (1 cup) Plain (All Purpose) Flour
- 2¾ teaspoon Gingerbread Spice *See Note 1
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 185ml (¾ cup) Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice *See Note 2
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
Frying
- 1½ teaspoon Butter (for frying)
Apple Christmas Insert (Optional)
Cooking
Melt about 1 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, medium if strong stove. (See note 3)
Using an ice-cream scoop, add a heaped scoop of pancake batter into the skillet, quickly spread into a circle about 10cm / 4" wide.
Cook for around one minute or until a few bubbles appear and the underside is mostly golden. If you are adding the Christmas shaped apple insert add it to the centre of the pancake at this point.
Gently flip and cook for a further 1 minute.
- You can replace gingerbread spice with 1.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground clove, a pinch nutmeg, a pinch of all spice.
- Lemon Juice is needed to activate the baking soda. You can replace milk and lemon juice with buttermilk.
- The trick to making good pancakes is to get the temperature right. This will vary depending on the stove. Make a small test pancake first to check the temperature. If the outside is scorched and the inside is still raw then turn down the heat.
