Description
These Fluffy Pancakes for Two are just the right size when you want a proper pancake breakfast without making a huge stack. They’re soft in the middle, lightly sweet and easy enough to mix up while the coffee’s brewing.
Ingredients

Scale
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk, plus more if needed
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Cooking spray, such as Spray and Cook
Instructions
- Add 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk or sift them together. Sifting helps break up any little lumps and gives you a lighter batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and 3/4 cup milk together until combined.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it looks too stiff to spread easily, add 1 tbsp milk at a time until you’re happy with the consistency. Don’t overmix it or the pancakes can turn out heavier.
- Heat an electric frying pan over medium heat, around 350⁰F (175⁰C), or use a regular frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray. You don’t need much.
- Spoon or pour the batter onto the hot pan, using roughly 2 to 3 tbsp batter per pancake. Leave a little space between them so you can flip them without playing pancake Tetris.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear across the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until puffed and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, giving the pan another light spray if needed. Serve the pancakes warm with your favourite toppings.
