Ingredients

2 eggs
3 cups self raising flour (use plain flour if you want thinner pancakes)
1 -2 cup milk (depening on thinkness desired)
2 tablespoons vanilla essence or 2 tablespoons extract
sugar, to taste

Directions

1

Pour flour into medium to large mixing bowl, make a well in the center.
2

Add eggs, vanilla, and sugar.
3

Add about half the milk.
4

Stir the ingredients, slowly adding in the rest of the milk.
5

The amount of milk you should add depends on what type of pancakes you want.
6

The thicker the mixture, the thicker the pancakes.
7

Don't be to fussy about having a few lumps, it wont matter to much in the end.
8

Try not to stir the mixture for too long.
9

Quick combining of ingredients is what you're after.
10

Place a frying pan over a medium to low heat (adjust according to your own stove).
11

Butter the frying pan, and place a spoonful of the mixture into the centre (I use a soup ladel for this, I think it makes it easier), and spread the pancake so it is about a centimetre thick, or less.
12

When alot of bubbles begin to appear on the top of the pancake (usually 1-2 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown), flip it over and allow the other side to also brown off for a minute.
13

You can test wether the pancake is cooked by pushing lightly on the centre.
14

If it springs back it is ready.
15

Make sure to wipe out and re-butter your frying pan with each pancake cooked.
