Ingredients

Makes 4 standard pancakes

  • 120g self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1tsp earl grey tea
  • 100ml milk
  • 1 large egg, separate the egg white and yolk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (+1 tsp for cooking)

Method:

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, tea powder and salt in a mixing bowl, give it a little stir.
  2. Add the milk, egg yolk, oil into the flour mixture, stir well.
  3. Beat the egg white in a separate bowl, add the caster sugar gradually and beat until it can form a peak.
  4. Gently fold in the egg white into the batter until they are mixed evenly.
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan in medium heat and add 1 tsp cooking oil.
  6. Add a ladle of batter to the pan. (It is a thick batter so you may need to use the back of the ladle to spread out the batter a bit on the pan), the batter should be at about 1cm thick.
  7. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble (may take 2-3 mins), then turn it over and cook until both side are golden.
  8. Repeat until you used up all the batter.
  9. Serve with blueberries, raspberries, honey/syrup or any toppings you fancy!
