Suhoor Recipes

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

For Pancakes:

• 135g/4¾oz plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 130ml/4½fl oz milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tbsp melted butter (allowed to cool slightly) or olive oil, plus extra for cooking

To serve:

• Maple syrup
• Butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
3. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing so let the batter stand for a few minutes
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When it's melted, add a ladle of batter 
5. Once pancake begins to bubble, turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm (½in) thick.
6. Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can also keep the pancakes warm in a low oven.
7. Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter, if you like.
