Fast flapjacks

By Sam Woulidge
Full Star
Makes 6
Easy
3 minutes
3 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150 g self-raising flour
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 1⁄2 cup milk, plus 2 T
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 2 T sugar (optional but, of course, I added it)
  • butter, for frying
    • For serving, your choice of:

  • cinnamon sugar and lemon juice (for pronto pretend pancakes)
  • fried bacon and maple syrup
  • whipped cream and honey
  • banana and berries
  • Nutella

Method

1. Whisk all the ingredients except the butter in a stand-mixer or by hand to make a smooth, runny batter.

2. Heat some butter in a pan over a medium heat. When it starts bubbling (not browning!), ladle about ¼ cup batter into the pan and cook until bubbles appear. This should take about a minute, or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the flapjack over and press down lightly on the middle using a spatula, allowing it to cook for another minute.

3. Repeat using the remaining batter. Serve with your choice of toppings.
