Lace Pancakes

A fun and creative way of presenting pancakes. It is also fun for children and adults to make.

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 10 oz milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Sift the flour and sugar into a bowl and make a well in the middle.
  • Whisk together one egg, one egg yolk and a little milk, then pour into the well.
  • Whisk gently, gradually whisking in half of the remaining milk, drawing in the rest of the flour a little at a time, to make a smooth batter.
  • Stir in the remaining milk. Cover and leave to stand for about 15 minutes.
  • Pour the batter into a plastic squeeze bottle.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat and brush with a little melted butter.
  • Squeeze the batter into the pan, creating a freehand lace pattern. Make sure all the lines are connected.
  • Cook the pancake over a medium-high 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 6 through 9 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)
