basic pancakes

[ID: A photo of a pile of fat pancakes I made, on a white plate. End ID]

i’ve spent the past few weeks in quarantine figuring out pancakes! thought I’d share my preferred method <3

INGREDIENTS:

125g all-purpose/plain flour

2tbsp sugar

2tsp baking powder

250ml milk

2tbsp vegetable oil + extra for frying

1 large egg

your favourite toppings!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl

In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the milk, oil and egg

Slowly add the dry mixture to the liquid, whisking as you go

When your batter is ready, heat your frying pan and grease with oil (stick to a low-medium heat - if your pan is too hot the edges might burn before the batter is fully cooked)

Pour a dollop of batter onto the pan, be careful, it spreads quick!

Fry the pancake until it begins to bubble on the top - you can use your spatula to peek under the batter and see if the side is cooked

Flip the pancake carefully onto the other side and cook until browned again

When your pancake is ready transfer to a plate - covering with foil helps to keep them warm whilst you fry the others

Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!

CHEDDAR BISCUITS RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

Biscuits:

2 1/2 cups Bisquick

4 Tablespoons cold butter

1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

3/4 cup milk

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Butter Glaze:

3 Tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease or line one cookie sheet with parchment; set aside.

Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter (I just use a fork to cut the butter into the mixture). Don’t worry about mixing too thoroughly; there will be small chunks of butter in the mix about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix.

Drop 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto the lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes in preheated oven or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

While the biscuits are baking, melt butter is a small bowl in the microwave. Stir in garlic powder and dried parsley flakes.

After biscuits have come out of the oven, use a brush to spread the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Sprinkle a little kosher salt on the freshly coated biscuits. Makes one dozen.
