Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) superfine (caster) sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 milliliters) milk
  • Vegetable oil or butter for greasing the pan
  • Butter, honey, and/or jam for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Lightly beat the eggs and and fold in while slowly adding milk until a smooth and slightly thick batter forms.
  • In a large skillet, lightly drizzle a very thin layer oil over medium low heat.
  • Once the skillet is heated, drop in a large spoonful of batter in a circle, gently smoothing the top. If the pan is large enough, you can add more than one, but take care to not overcrowd.
  • Cook until the batter start to set on the edges and bubbles appear in the center. Flip and cook the other side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  • Serve with butter, honey, and/or jam.
