This morning Jamie Oliver tweeted that "if you do anything this weekend, make these pancakes with your kids." He's so right! They are SO easy. Kids could make them almost by themselves! Also it doesn't make a lot so you aren't left with a pile of uneaten pancakes. I made these this week after a really busy day and served them with frittata and turkey sausages. They were delicious!1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
2 tbsp butter
Whisk the egg and milk together in a small bowl. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Dump the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk it all until you get a nice smooth batter.
Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a non stick pan, then when you are sure it's good and hot, ladle the batter into the pan. If you are going to make blueberry pancakes, this is when I dot the top with blueberries (fresh or frozen). Flip the pancakes over when they are golden brown and the top begins to get bubbles. Cook the other side until nicely browned. Continue, adding more butter if you need to.
On Jamie's site, he offers a fantastic way to eat them with mangoes, bananas, lime, and a coconut yogurt. I highly recommend you try it!
