Preparation

Step 1

It is best to use an electric frying pan for pancakes but a regular stove top frying pan will also work at medium heat.
Heat electric frying pan at 350

Step 2

Put all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix
Add oil egg and milk (adding more if needed until somewhat runny) and vanilla (if desired)

Step 3

Beat mixture until all lumps are gone and it's nice and smooth
Add fruit and nuts if desired and give it a stir

Step 4

Pour batter onto frying pan with a ladle
Flip pancakes when they start to look a bit dry and bubble on top
Flip again after about two minutes
Cook until both sides are golden brown

​

Serve with maple syrup (best served slightly warm. Warm syrup by placing the bottle in a pot of hot water for a few minutes). Also good served buttered with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of sugar!
