How many pancakes does this recipe make?​

What flavour pancakes can I make with this recipe?​

It works great with all the usual sweet toppings , butter and Maple Syrup. Blueberries , Nutella ect

Does this pancake recipe freeze well?​

They freeze and reheat in the microwave extremely well.

How thick should pancake batter be?​

The ideal consistency of pancake batter is pourable but thick enough to easily spread out in a hot pan. The exact thickness of the batter can vary depending on the recipe and personal preference. If the batter seems too thin or runny, you can add more flour, and if it's too thick, you can add more liquid such as milk or water, a little at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

My mum's pancake mix was similar to yours.
1 cup of plain flour
1 cup of milk
1 pinch of salt
2 eggs.
This mixture was more like a crepe that you could roll up and eat with a knife and fork. It was suitable with sweet or savoury fillings. My favourite was lemon and sugar but I have made them with savoury mince or creamed corn. They are very versatile.

I remember my mum making them like this when I was a kid.

Can also separate white from yolk and beat vigorously, combine beaten yolk and fold into flour and water/milk mix.

If you are regarding my post, I was doing it that way over sixty years ago. A little bit before the pretenders time?

I got this recipe from Australia's best, I've also seen Jamie Oliver has the same recipe but uses skim milk. Also so many chefs use the same recipe.

The original one who published the exact recipe was Margaret Fulton , I think Jamie Oliver used hers.

If I go back further an old recipe book which is over 50 years old Aunt Marys cookbook also has the exact recipe with different ways.

Aren't we lucky to have so many great chefs who all think this one simple pancake recipe is so amazing
