3medium sized eggs
150gfull fat milk
1tablespoonsactive Sourdough starteroptional
Instructions
Have ready a large thick bottomed frying pan or flat griddle, a few nobs of butter and a spatula. Turn the oven on to a medium heat and have a large plate inside to keep the pancakes warm.
Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and give it a good mix until everything is well combined. But do not overbeat.
Heat the frying pan over a medium heat add a small amount of butter and allow this to gently melt but not sizzle.
Drop tablespoons of the pancake mixture into the pan and leave to cook for a couple of minutes.
Carefully lift the edge of one of the pancakes, they should start cook to a nice golden brown colour. If not leave them a little longer, before turning over the cook on the other side. Cook for a couple of mins until nice and golden.
Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve straight away or add to the warmed plate in the oven. Keep covered with greaseproof paper to help prevent drying out.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, flatten down the pancakes or you will lose all the air bubbles that have been created as a result of the self raising flour and sourdough starter - if using. This will result in flat dense, rubbery pancakes.
Continue to cook the rest of the pancakes in the same way.
Serve with Maple Syrup, slices of Banana or other fresh seasonal fruits.
