Pancake stack with maple syrup

How to make Pancake stack with maple syrup recipe

Serves 4

Preparation time 10 minutes, Cooking time 6 minutes

Ingredients:
1 egg
100 g (3½ oz) strong plain flour
125 ml (4 fl oz) milk
2½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon caster sugar
maple syrup, for drizzling

Method:
Put the egg, flour, milk, oil and sugar in a food processor or blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and put in 4 half-ladlefuls of the batter to make 4 pancakes. After about 1 minute the tops of the pancakes will start to set and air bubbles will rise to the top and burst.

Use a spatula to turn the pancakes over and cook on the other side for 1 minute. Repeat twice more until you have used all the batter and made 12 small pancakes in total.

Bring the pancakes to the table as a stack, drizzled with maple syrup, and serve 3 pancakes to each person, with scoops of ice cream.

For orange-flavoured pancakes, make a batter as above but with 125 g (4 oz) plain flour, 2 teaspoons each caster sugar and grated orange rind, 1 teaspoon each cream of tartar and golden syrup, ½ teaspoon each salt and bicarbonate of soda, 1 egg, 125 ml (4 fl oz) warm milk and a few drops of orange essence. Cook the pancakes as above.
