OAK on Hume’s Favourite Meal: Wholemeal Pancakes

Ingredients:
1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey (optional)
1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:
1. Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the wholemeal flour, sugar (if using), and cinnamon.

2. Add wet ingredients:
In a separate jug, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.

3. Combine:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — a few small lumps are fine. Don’t overmix, or the pancakes can become dense.

4. Cook:
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set (about 1–2 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
