Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 people

INGREDIENTS

  • 200 g Self Raising Flour
  • 50 g Caster Sugar
  • 250 ml Milk - I use skimmed but any is fine
  • 2 Eggs
  • Zest of 2-4 lemons - I like my pancakes quite lemony so use 4, but you can use less if you prefer a subtler flavour
  • 120 g Raisins

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Sift the self raising flour (200g) into a large bowl
  • Add the caster sugar (50g)
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs (2 eggs)
  • Add the eggs and milk (250ml) into the flour and sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
  • Zest the lemons (2-4 depending on taste) and whisk the zest into the batter.
  • Heat a large frying pan to a medium heat and add the pancake mix.
  • Sprinkle a few raisins onto each pancake (I use about 10 per pancake).
  • Cook until bubbles are starting to form on the top and then flip and cook for another minute until the pancakes are golden brown.

NOTES

I don't grease the pan as I use a non-stick pan and so it isn't necessary. However you may wish to use a little butter or vegetable oil to stop the pancake sticking.
