Fluffy pancakes

This is a go-to pancake recipe for a breakfast treat on the weekend, or to serve for breakfast for dinner', as a way of switching up your evening meal.

MAKES about 12 medium pancakes PREP 5 mins COOK 20 mins EASY V

1 Tip the flour, baking powder, sugar and ¹/2 tsp salt into a mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk, and whisk until combined into a batter - it doesn't have to be very smooth.

2 Melt the butter in the microwave in a heatproof bowl or jug, then drizzle this into the batter while whisking until just combined.

3 Melt a knob of butter and 1 tsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is frothy, add the batter into the pan - use about 4 tbsp for each pancake, leaving some space between them. Cook on one side for 3 mins, or until lots of bubbles have appeared on the surface and popped. Flip and cook on the other side for 1 min more.
