Chef Brian reveals the only pancake recipe you’ll ever need

Donegal chef Brian McDermott cooked up a storm this afternoon on RTÉ’s ‘Today with Maura and Daithi’.

Brian was joined by his daughters in whipping up some fresh tasty treats for everyone in the studio.

Luckily for us, Chef Brian revealed his classic pancake recipe so as we can replicate the mouth-watering delights we saw earlier on RTÉ.

 

Ingredients:

• 250g Self Raising Flour
• 25g Sugar
• 250ml Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 50g Melted Butter

To Top:

• 50g Local Honey
• 1 Lemon

Method:

1. Sieve the flour into a bowl. Add the sugar.
2. Whisk together the milk and eggs, add to the flour and sugar and whisk to create a thick batter consistency. Add the melted butter.
3. Heat a non-stick pan to a medium heat and pour some of the batter into the center of the pan and cook on either side for 1 minute. Pancakes should be golden on each side.
4. Top with a drizzle of local honey and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for traditional Pancake Tuesday.

 

Brian’s tip for better batter is to whip it up and set it aside for an hour before making the pancakes.

 

You can get really creative with toppings, but here’s four of Brian’s favourites:

• Crème Fraiche & Blueberries with cinnamon
• Banana & Chocolate Spread with chopped walnuts
• Bacon & Maple Syrup
• Buttered Mushrooms, Thyme & black pepper

 

Voilà! Fluffy, delicious pancakes every time.
