Instructions:
Start by mixing the dry ingredients – the flour, Mara Sugar, baking powder, and salt – in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add the milk and oil. Combine the wet and dry mixtures, stirring gently until you have a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing, as this keeps your pancakes soft and fluffy.
Heat a pan over a medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat until all of the batter is used.
Keeping them warm and ready to stack
We recommend serving straight from the pan, but if you have a couple of guests, you may want to serve them all at once or in a stack. To keep them warm while you make the next batch, place them on a baking tray with the oven on a very low temperature, or pop them on a plate and cover with aluminium foil to keep them warm.
How to serve
You could serve your pancakes warm with a sprinkle of sugar, fresh fruits like bananas or mangoes, or a drizzle of honey. If you want to make this recipe for pancakes even sweeter, try our sugary suggestions:
1. Classic sugar sprinkle
The simplest option is to sprinkle them with Mara Sugar. Alternatively, heating the sugar gently melts it, creating a sweet glaze.
2. Cinnamon sugar
Mix Mara Sugar with a little cinnamon for a warm, comforting topping and extra flavour.
3. Caramel Sauce
Melt our Mara Sugar in a pan over low heat until it turns golden brown, then carefully add a bit of butter or cream. This creates a rich caramel sauce that tastes amazing on pancakes.
4. Sugar syrup
Boil sugar with a little water until it thickens slightly. You can add a squeeze of lemon or a drop of vanilla for extra flavour. This creates your own homemade syrup.
5. Fruit compote
Cook fruits like bananas, pineapples, or mangoes with sugar in a pan until soft and syrupy. This makes a natural, juicy topping full of flavour.
