Our recipe for Scotch pancakes

Although we don’t make or sell pancakes in the bakery, we’ve got the knack for whipping up delicious, light ones.

Here we’re sharing a recipe for Scotch or American style pancakes, which are a smaller, but slightly thicker take on traditional British pancakes.

Why not have a go at making them yourself at home this Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tspn baking powder
• 1 Tbsp caster sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 30gm melted butter
• 300ml milk
• 225gm plain flour
• Pinch of salt

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together with either a hand whisk or stick blender.

Heat a frying pan with a little sunflower oil and ladle in a small amount of the batter to a diameter of 3-4 inches. Once air holes have formed on the surface, they can be turned over to finish.

Serve with fresh fruit and yoghurt or crispy bacon and maple syrup.
