Who doesn’t love pancakes? With this easy pancakes recipe you will be making this delicious treat everyday. The only question is: sweet or savoury?

What you'll need:

  • 30 g of butter
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Assorting toppings (for sweet pancakes): bananas, berries and nutella.

Instructions:

  1. Melt your butter and pour it in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add your flour, milk, water, salt and egg into the bowl. Whisk until you get a smooth batter.
  3. On a frying pan at medium heat, melt some butter and spread through the pan to avoid the mix from sticking to the bottom.
  4. Then pour in a spoonful of the batter and cook for roughly 1 minute on each side until golden. Do this for your whole mixture and enjoy.
  5. Ps: we recommend pairing them with seasonal fruits and some chocolaty spreads.
