This is my go to recipe for Flapjacks. My kids absolutely love it and it freezes well when wrapped in baking paper.
Ingredients
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 50 g sugar
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 180 ml milk
- 30 ml melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- A little butter or oil for frying
Method
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk, melted butter and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Don't beat it smooth — a few small lumps are perfectly fine. The batter should be quite thick and should drop slowly from a spoon rather than pour like pancake batter.
- Beat the egg whites until soft and fluffy, then gently fold them into the batter. This keeps the flapjacks light without making the mixture too runny.
- Leave the batter to stand for 5–10 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it rests.
- Heat a lightly buttered pan over medium-low heat. Spoon generous amounts of batter into the pan and spread them only slightly.
- Cook until little bubbles begin appearing on top and the underside is golden. Turn carefully and cook the second side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, honey, jam or whatever you prefer.
