If you have self raising flour you could use that instead

[MoreWhisky]

Really? so is self raising flour just plain flour with baking powder in then?

But thanks for the info i will try them with self rasing tomorrow 

[compostqueen]

Yes, I believe so.   

1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup semi-skimmed milk
1 free-range egg
1 pinch sea salt

[MoreWhisky]

ok i will try that recipe in the morning! thanks.

Here my normal recipe , always like to see recipes  

135g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1\2 tsb salt
2tbsp sugar
1 large egg beaten
130ml milk
2 tbsp butter

mix the dry ingredients , mix the wet ingredients ( inc  melted butter) add wet ingredients to dry, dont over mix!

Kids love em with treale or maple or nutella.



wonder if they notice the difference tomorrow with compostqueens recipe, im not going to tell em lol

According to Doves Farm, if you add 3 tsp bicarb of soda with 4 tsp of cream of tartar and shake well, you've made baking powder, and to make self raising flour you add 1 tsp baking powder to 200g plain flour.

Interesting variation on the baking powder recipe.

I use one part baking soda, one part cornstarch and two parts cream of tartar. Blend well.

Once combined, the shelf life is greatly reduced so just make small quantities.

Baking soda is pure (alkaline) sodium bicarbonate and requires contact with an acidic liquid such as milk or yoghurt to produce a chemical reaction, baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and other ingredients including an acidifying agent.

Well thanks everyone for all the tips im going to mix some baking powder tomorrow.

Any more Pancake recipes anyone? i seem to be getting lots of requests for them from the family at the moment, so would like to mix the mix up more! lol

I use your basic recipe but add 3 to 4 eggs to make more of a flatter crepe recipe. Lovely slathered with homemade jam.

Very simple and my GF likes the butter through them.  That's breakfast plans sorted, thanks for bringing them up MoreWhisky!
