Method

  • step 1

    Sift the flours into a bowl or wide jug and tip any bits in the sieve back into the bowl. Add the egg yolks and a splash of milk then stir to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk a little at a time so you don’t make lumps in the batter.

  • step 2

    Whisk the egg whites until they stand up in stiff peaks, then fold them carefully into the batter – try not to squash out all the air.

  • step 3

    Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and pour in enough batter to make a pancake about 10 cm across. Cook for just under a minute until bubbles begin to pop on the surface and the edges are looking a little dry. Carefully turn the pancake over. If it is a bit wet on top, it may squirt out a little batter as you do so. In that case, leave it on the other side a little longer. Keep warm while you make the remaining pancakes. Serve with your favourite healthy toppings.

Used 50g plain and 50g self raising flour. The rest as per the recipe although I did add a drop of vanilla essence! Absolutely delicious, shouts of "these are my favourite pancakes" from my 4 and 2 year olds! Win win all round :-)

tip

I read the other comments about it being bread-like, so I only used 100g of self-raising flour and 100g of milk and 2 eggs to make 10 pancakes and missed out the wholemeal flour. They were really tasty and fluffy. Too muc egg taste. I would recommend less milk and only 1 egg yolk. When I whipped up…
