Here’s my fail safe recipe for perfect pancakes. They’re not the healthiest ones, or vegan, or full of superfoods, but they’re easy and they work…..every time.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups flour (you can use spelt if you want)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla (optional)
  • Butter for the pan

Method

I have a Magimix CE so I just throw everything except the butter into the bowl and mix for about 1 minute and it’s done.
If you don’t have a Magimix or a Thermie or something similar it’s still super easy.
Put flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl and whisk.
Mix your egg, milk and vanilla in a separate jug and whisk
Make a hole in the dry ingredients, pour the egg mixture in and mix to make a smooth batter.

Heat pan to medium heat add some butter and pour in your pancake mix as big and as thick as you like them. Cook for around 1-2 minutes each side. Throw in a flip if you want to impress the kids.

Serve them up with your fave pancake toppings.

  • Lemon and sugar
  • Honey
  • Berries and yoghurt
  • Bacon and maple syrup
  • Banana and nutella

With after school activities in full swing for this term, we're always needing ways to get from A to B and maybe even C with stable energy levels that ensures children are fueled for the learning ahead.

  • 5 ways to create the perfect pantry

    A girlfriend recently alerted me to Khloe Kardashian's pantry and I wanted in on this pantry porn! I was drooling at the labels, the OCD order, the matching water bottles.  A dash to Coles the night before to buy salsa for Tuesday taco night in the cold only to find the salsa the next day stuffed behind a hundred other things ... also confirmed my need to be more organised. I want some  Pantry Perfection to make it look pretty, organised, zen and not a complete mess! Not to do anything half way - I called an actual Pantry Organiser! Don't judge me... I needed to feel organised in some aspect of my life and if the pantry was it then so be it. I learnt a few tips with the professional organiser and some realisation at the same time on things I was doing wrong along the way to have it in a state of mess most of the time. Weather you treat yourself and get someone to do it (are you still judging me) here are some tips I learnt along the way... oh and my number one tip ... don't tell your husbands ladies! Just do it.... This is not…

  • Pancake Board (GLUTEN Free)

    As of about five seconds ago, when I was chatting to my friend Lisa from @feeding_elli 'Pancake Boards' are my new favourite thing in the entire universe. When I fall for something (food mostly) I fall HARD. This little beauty is completely Gluten Free, but you know - do what ever. I never know what snack to make when the kids have GF friends over. Lisa has nailed it. Check out her little local page some time, dedicated to feeding a coeliac child. Whats on the board: YES it is all gluten free! You can switch it up if you don't have that need - but we think this looks pretty awesome regardless.
