Ingredients
- 200 g Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp Caster Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 200 ml Milk
- 2 tbsp Melted Butter
- 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing)
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, add the 200 g Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, 2 tsp Baking Powder, and 2 tbsp Caster Sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- 2In a separate medium bowl, add the 2 Large Eggs, 200 ml Milk, and 2 tbsp Melted Butter. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are well combined.
- 3Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until everything is just combined into a batter. Be careful not to overmix.
- 4Place a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for about 2-3 minutes. Add the 1 tbsp Butter for greasing and let it melt to coat the surface.
- 5Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot surface. Aim for about 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- 6Using a spatula, carefully flip the pancakes over. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side, until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- 7Remove the cooked pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter to the pan if needed between batches.
- 8Serve the Scotch pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
