Ingredients:
200g (1 2/3 cups) plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 large egg
300ml (1 ¼ cups) milk
vegetable oil (or butter), to fry
Method:
Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl then beat the egg and milk into the mixture with a handheld or electric whisk. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add some oil or butter.
Spoon in a small ladleful of batter to make a pancake about 10cm (4 in) across. Fry for about 1 min until the edges of the pancake are firm and bubbles have started to appear on the surface. Turn it over and fry for another 30 seconds until golden on both sides.
Serve with your favorite toppings.
