SHOP INGREDIENTS: WAITROSE & PARTNERS
Instructions:
Preheat Your Pan or Griddle:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and all the spices until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Cook Pancakes:
Ladle the batter onto the preheated skillet or griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and Cook:
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve Warm:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings. Drizzle with maple syrup, add a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped nuts, and garnish with berries. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch.
