Scotch Pancakes

We had one of the nephews staying over last weekend for a night.
I couldn't help but try and think of something fun for us to do. And pancakes came to mind for breakfast. Little Man got so excited!
In the end, he just ate the yoghurt he wanted with the pancakes and kept playing bowling on the Wii. But it was fun making them!


What the recipe calls for:
75g plain flour
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons low fat plain yoghurt
1 tablespoon skimmed milk (I only like semi-skimmed so I used that instead)

Instructions:
Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add the egg, yoghurt and milk, and beat together to make a smooth paste.
Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot and add half a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add tablespoonfuls of the batter and cook over a medium low heat. Turn them over when bubbles start to appear on the surface. Each pancake should take about 2 minutes to cook.


I may try these with a bit of flavouring next time. Maybe swap the plain yoghurt for vanilla, or strawberry... There's so many options! Sprinkles, chocolate drops, dried fruit...
Me thinks an experiment may be happening soon!
