Pancake Recipe without baking powder?!
Will the self-raising flour work?
Answers:
Here you go:
2 cups self raising flour
? tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
2 ? cups milk
2 tbsp sugar (or brown sugar)
Vegetable oil
Syrup or honey
2 tbsp softened butter or margarine
Method
Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk plenty of air into them. Mix the flour, salt and sugar together and then sift them twice. Add the eggs and milk to the flour mixture and stir into a smooth batter. Pour a little oil into the skillet and heat until warm. Now pour a ladle of batter into the skillet, and once tiny bubbles appear n the surface, especially around the edges, flip the pancake. Keep a check, and once both sides are golden brown, take it out and repeat the process until all the batter is used up. Don't get distressed if the first few don't turn out well, for you'll definitely get a hang of it by the time you make the third one. Serve with a drizzle of honey or syrup and a blob of butter.
Hope they come out delicious!!!
Self rising flour already has baking powder in it. That's why it rises. The proportion of baking powder in the flour is pretty much identical to what a pancake recipe usually calls for, so make your recipe with the self rising and just leave out the baking powder the recipe calls for.
The self rising flour should work, though I don't think the pancakes will be as fluffy.
Good luck with the pancakes.
