Perfect Pancakes

Breakfast is obviously the most important meal of the day and for my final breakfast as a little 20 year old (I'll be turning the big 2-1 tomorrow!), I chose my favourite thing to eat and something that will always take me back to being little and gathered round the kitchen table on a saturday morning, waiting for mama to dish up the goods. Pancakes.
My sister was even kind enough to cook it for me as my mama was out and at the early breakfast hour I was feeling far too lazy to do it myself.
My favourite is a pile of pancakes topped off with crispy bacon and lots of maple syrup.




Millie opted for the slightly more modest single pancake, banana and syrup…amateur.




With my belly full, I was more prepared for a nap than for the day ahead but it was still the perfect treat for the start of the day!




To make the most perfect pancakes yourself (although I'm sure a recipe is not really necessary) you will need:
1 3/4 cup Plain Flour
1 1/4 cup Milk
2 Eggs
2 tablespoons Caster Sugar

(we made them dairy and gluten free by using wheat free flour and almond milk but you don't have to)

Simply combine all ingredients together and whisk, preferably leave in the fridge for about half an hour, but it's understandable if you just cant't wait to get them in the pan!
Pop some butter in a hot pan and wait for it to foam slightly, then pour on a laddle of pancake batter. 
Wait a few minutes until it bubbles and is golden brown on the underside, then flip! 
Wait again for the second side to brown and enjoy!




Happy plate
