Scotch Pancakes
- 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp golden or light corn syrup
- Vegetable oil, for the griddle
- Heat a griddle over medium heat.
- Place a folded clean kitchen towel on a baking sheet.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together into a bowl.
- Make a well in the center and add the milk, egg, and golden syrup.
- Whisk well until the batter is smooth and the consistency of thick cream.
- If the mixture is too thick, beat in a little more milk.
- To test the griddle, sprinkle a little flour on the surface; it should brown slowly.
- If it burns quickly, cool the pan.
- Carefully dust off the flour and lightly oil the griddle.
- Using a soup spoon, scoop out the batter, cleaning the back of the spoon on the edge of the bowl.
- Pour the batter from the tip of the spoon onto the hot pan to make a round shape.
- Repeat, leaving enough room between the pancakes for them to rise and spread.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and they begin to burst.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a metal spatula.
- Lightly press the spatula on each pancake to ensure even browning, and cook until the other sides are browned.
- Tuck the pancakes inside the folds of the towel to keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, oiling the griddle before each batch.
- Serve immediately, while the pancakes are still warm.
