Frying Pan we use carbon steel
Pancake / egg rings metal - optional
2 large mixing bowls
Spatula
Whisk
Wire cooling rack optional
Ladle
- 200 g plain white flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- half tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
- pinch salt
- 2 medium eggs
- 25 g butter melted
- 300 ml buttermilk
- 3 tbsp milk any kind you have on hand
- 1 tbsp oil any oil you have on hand - preferably with minimal flavour
Start by melting your butter in a bowl, set it aside to cool slightly
Combine all of your dry ingredients in a large bowl (flour, baking soda, bicarbonate of soda, sugar & salt). Stir well
In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (eggs, melted butter, buttermilk & milk)
Add the wet ingredient mix to the dry ingredient mix and stir to combine
Get a pan hot and add a dash of the cooking oil, just to coat the pan slightly
If using cooking rings (roughly 8 minutes to cook):
Coat the inside of your cooking rings with oil and add to the pan to get hot
Once the pan and ring(s) are hot, turn the heat down to low/medium
Using a ladle, pour roughly 1/8th of the mixture into the centre of the ring. Cook on this side for 4-5 minutes, it should slowly rise and fill the ring space
Once you see holes/bubbles appearing and the edges look firm and are starting to crisp slightly, remove the ring and flip the pancake. You might need a butter knife to ensure the ring is not stuck to the pancake before removing
Cook for a further 2-3 minutes on the 2nd side. Remove and place on a rack to cool. Serve!
Without cooking rings (roughly 6 minutes to cook):
Once the pan is hot, turn heat down to low/medium
Using a ladle, pour roughly 1/8th of the mixture into your pan, cooking for about 3 minutes, you'll see some spread and rise on the pancake(s)
Once you see bubbles/holes appearing and the edges are firming/crisping up - it's time to flip
Flip the pancake(s) and allow to cook for a further 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and place on a rack to cool. Serve!

Using cooking rings is optional - this just gives you a big more height and uniform shape!
Cooking time is slightly higher with the rings and the pancakes are thicker - it takes longer to cook the whole way though.
