Lace Pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup milk divided in half
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Unsalted butter for cooking the pancakes

Instructions
 

  • Put the flour on parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract and half the milk. Whisk until well combined.
  • Hold the sifter over the bowl with the milk mixture.
  • Pour the flour into the sifter.
  • Sift the flour into the milk mixture.
  • While sifting the flour into the milk mixture, whisk the milk mixture constantly.
  • Once all the flour is sifted, add the remaining milk and stir well.
  • Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
  • Cover and leave to stand for about 15 minutes.
  • Once the batter has rested, add the sugar and briefly mix.
  • Pour the batter into 2 plastic squeeze bottles.
  • Brush a pan with melted butter and preheat on low.
  • Now to create your lace pancakes, squeeze the batter into the pan, creating a freehand pattern. Make sure all the lines are connected.
  • Work quickly to make sure the whole pancake cooks at the same time
  • Cook the pancake over a low heat for 45-60 seconds until small bubbles appear on the surface and the underside is lightly browned. Gently flip the pancake.
  • Cook the other side for about 30 seconds or until golden. Place the pancake on a plate.
  • Repeat steps 12 through 15 until the batter is done.
  • Serve the pancakes as they are made, or stack them on a plate and reheat before serving. (If the pancakes are hot when you stack them they will not stick together; there is no need to separate them with parchment paper)
