These are a classic Scottish thick griddle pancake, ideal for breakfast or even for a light super.

Ingredients:

240g self-raising flour
pinch of sugar
60g caster sugar
2 eggs
280ml milk

Method:

Lightly grease your griddle with oil (not butter, as it will burn) then place on the hob to heat.

Meanwhile, sift together the flour and sugar into a bowl then mix-in the sugar. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate bowl then pour the milk mixture into the flour. Whisk together to form a smooth batter then test the griddle. Place a teaspoon of batter on the pan and if it cooks in less than a minute the griddle is ready.

Remove the test batter then drop a tablespoon of the batter mix onto the griddle (smooth the top with the back of the spoon). Allow the batter to cook until bubbles start rising to the surface (between 3 and 4 minutes) then flip the batter over using a palette knife. Continue cooking until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through (note, you can usually cook more than one pancake at once, just space them at least 3cm apart).

Wrap the finished pancakes in a tea towel to keep warm and moist as you finish cooking the remainder of the batter (the batter is enough for 9 or 10). Serve either hot or cold with butter and jam or marmalade for breakfast. These pancakes also go well with egg and bacon.
