Episode 3 of The Breakfast Diaries Series presents to you the perfect way to create Golden Brown Pancakes (Serves 2).

Ingredients:
1 Cup of Self-Raising Flour
1 Egg
2 Tablespoons of Sugar
Milk

Method:
1. Place the flour, sugar and egg into a mixing bowl, start adding the milk a little at a time as you mix with an electric mixer
2. Keep mixing together until you have a smooth consistency (The more milk, the runnier it will become)
3. Using a non-stick fry pan or small skillet, heat to a moderate temperature; add a little butter or margarine to the pan before you place the mix in (The size of the pancake will depend on the amount of mix you pour in)
4. When bubbles start to appear and burst on the pancake, it is time to turn it over, using a spatula slip it under the pancake and flip it over
5. Wait for it to rise a little, when both sides are a golden brown the pancakes are ready to serve

Hint!
Add your choice of berry (Strawberry, Blueberry or Raspberry) for extra flavour
