Pancakes are easy to make with everyday items found in the kitchen. The recipe does not consist of kytonite materials from space and cost peanuts. Alternatively, any shelf bought pancake mix will also do the quick job of fulfilling the role of the most important meal of the day. Do a search online for pancake recipe and plenty will surface.

My recipe is,

2 cups all purpose flour.
3 tsp baking powder.
2 tbsp fine sugar.
1 eggs lightly beaten.
2 cups buttermilk/milk
a pinch of salt.
3 tbsp soft butter.

simply mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt well in a bowl. remove sugar if making savoury variant pancakes.

mix buttermilk, eggs,and soft butter well.

add the liquid mixture to the flour and mix well.

adjust the consistency with the liquid mixture till the pancake mix is able to coat a tablespoon well is a good start.


grease the pan lightly with a little butter. Scoop a spoonful of pancake mixture onto the pan. Wait till you see the mixture "firmed up" before turning it over. The first pancake is always a dud. you will need to adjust your fire or consistency of the mix to get it correct the next time...

You can eat the pancakes on it's own or with your favorite jam and butter. To make it more interesting, thinning down good quality jam with some fruit juice over a low fire. Add some fruits and adjust taste with a little sugar. For thinned orange marmalade, add a little brandy or grand marnier will up the fun.
