EASY PANCAKE RECIPE
With so many pancake recipes online, it’s hard to find one that is quick and easy. We have awesome pancake recipes of our own like our Buttermilk Pancakes and our Best Fluffy Pancakes, but they aren’t exactly quick.
Most of the pancake recipes you’ll find online consist of more than eight steps and a billion different ingredients. There’s no need for that. Especially when you’re in a rush to feed teenagers or any child under 12. They don’t care about vanilla extract, buttermilk, chilling batters or whatever. They just want pancakes… YESTERDAY.
Being school holidays right now, these 3 ingredient pancakes are my go-to pancakes. They’re ready, steaming hot and on the table before my kids are.
HOW TO MAKE A PANCAKE BATTER
No complicated steps, beaters, separating eggs or beating egg whites for fluffier pancakes. No sifting flour with a cloud of white dust landing all over your clean bench tops. Just one bowl. One spoon. And about two minutes, mixing three ingredients together.
All you need is self raising flour, eggs and milk: the essential base for any pancake recipe.
Pour in your favourite add-ins just before frying and you’re basically done. Shockingly quick and delightfully tasty, these 3 ingredient pancakes are just as good, if not better than some of the more complicated recipes out there.
TOPPINGS
Homemade Blueberry Sauce is sooo much better than eating fresh blueberries straight out of the punnet. Drizzle the sauce all over your 3 ingredient pancakes for a top quality dining experience.
Fresh cut fruits, mixed berries and chocolate chips are just as good, as is a good ol’ traditional maple syrup.
