Easy to make and fun for all the family, especially if using moulds to make playful shapes. The kids will love to get involved, and after a few attempts they will probably remember the recipe by heart.
However I would suggest it as a weekend only treat, not a part of your daily diet, because it can include a lot of calories if covered in syrup and fruits.

Here’s the recipe for 2x pancakes
🥞 Ingredients
- 30g plain flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 small egg (beaten)
- 40–45ml milk
- 1 tsp melted butter (plus a little for the pan)
👩🍳 Method
- Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Whisk in the egg and most of the milk until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Add a splash more milk only if needed — the batter should be thick and spoonable, not runny.
- Heat a lightly buttered pan on medium-low.
- Spoon in batter without spreading.
- Cook 2–3 mins until bubbles form and edges set, flip, then cook another 1–2 mins.
- Top with fruits (strawberries, blueberries and bananas go very well) 🍓 🍌 and some maple syrup
For health reasons, just be careful not to have too much sauce/syrup and sugar.
Enjoy! 😃
