PANCAKE BATTER

1 3/4 cups self-raising flour

2 tablespoons caster sugar

1 cup milk

Method

To make pancake batter, combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Combine milk, eggs and vanilla in a medium jug. Whisk well. Whisk into flour mixture until smooth.
Brush melted butter over base of a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Pour 1/3 cup batter into pan. Repeat to make two pancakes.
Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn over. Cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden underneath. Remove. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining melted butter and batter to make eight pancakes in total.
Serve with vanilla ice-cream, maple syrup and strawberries.
