Instructions

1Whisk dry - Place flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, whisk to combine.
2Add wet ingredients - Add egg, milk and vanilla. Whisk until lump free - no longer than 30 seconds.
3Melt then wipe off most butter - Heat a non-stick pan - use medium heat if you have a strong stove, medium high if you have a weak one. Add a tiny bit of butter (about 1/2 tsp) and swirl to melt. Use paper towel to mostly wipe the butter off (this is the trick to avoid a dodgy 1st pancake).
4Pour 1/4 cup batter into the middle of the fry pan (I use a slightly heaped ice cream scoop with lever, standard is 1/4 cup).
5Cook - Swirl pan lightly to spread or use the ice cream scoop edge to spread into 11cm / 4.5" circle (ruler is a must) (joking!). When bubbles rise to the surface (see video), flip and cook the other side until golden.
6Keep warm and repeat - Remove the pancake and keep warm in a low oven. Use more butter every 2 to 3 pancakes - depends how good your non stick coating is.
7Serve with toppings of choice!
