Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 500 ml (2 cups) buttermilk
- olive oil, for greasing
To serve
- cultured butter
- 100 % Canadian A-grade maple syrup (see note)
Instructions
- Sift the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the melted butter and buttermilk and whisk to combine well.
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until nearly combined but make sure you don't overwork the batter.
- Place a large non–stick frying pan over medium heat. Use a piece of paper towel to lightly grease the pan with oil. it's best to have multiple frying pans on the go at the same time so you can cook as many at once as possible.
- Using a ladle or a 125 ml (½ cup) measure, slowly pour the batter into the frying pan and cook until large rapid bubbles appear on top. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking them as you go as this will help keep them hot.
- Serve with maple syrup and cultured butter.
