Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 100 grams Fresh berries or compote
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. This helps prevent lumping when combining with wet ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until they become slightly pale and frothy.
Step 3
Add the milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the eggs, mixing until all ingredients are fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until you achieve a smooth batter.
Step 5
Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake into the pan, cooking one or two at a time depending on the size of your pan.
Step 7
Cook each pancake for about 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Step 9
Once all pancakes are cooked, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and serve with a side of fresh berries or berry compote for additional flavor.
