BREAKFAST in bed is a popular Mother's Day gift, and pancakes are a fairly easy treat to add to the breakfast tray.
The following recipe is from Metro Creative Services.
Easy Pancakes
1½ cups all purpose flour
3½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1¼ cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted Strawberries and powdered sugar, for garnish
- Sift dry ingredients together then add the wet ingredients. Mix until just incorporated and let stand five minutes.
- Prepare a griddle or flat skillet by heating over medium-high heat and greasing with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Spoon about one-quarter cup of batter onto griddle for each pancake. Wait until bubbles form in the centre and then flip. Let cook on other side until golden brown, then remove.
- Repeat until pancake batter is done.
- Cut a small cleft into the top of sliced strawberries to make them look like hearts and garnish the plate with powdered sugar.
