Servings: 18 pancakes
Calories: 75kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups SR flour (or plain/all purpose flour with 6 teaspoons baking powder)
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Sift flour into a bowl and add sugar.

- Pour batter into a jug with a pouring spout.
- Grease and then heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan.
- Pour mixture into pancakes of about 8cm in diameter.
- Wait until bubbles form and then flip and cook on the other side for a couple of minutes.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and ice cream (or something else equally delicious!)
