3 Ingredient Pancakes

3 Ingredient Pancakes is one of the best recipes to have on hand. No matter what’s going on, it’s super easy and quick to whip up these 3 Ingredient Pancakes.

Even the kids can remember the recipe for these, especially if you’ve got a pancake maker or pan on hand.

You can add banana, blueberries, strawberries or any other ingredient to this versatile 1 Cup Pancakes recipe.

BREAKFAST: Serve with bacon & eggs with a drizzle of maple syrup.
MORNING/AFTERNOON TEA: Serve with a side of fresh cream and jam.
DESSERT: Banana & Nutella pancakes, anyone?

Ingredients (serves 3 | makes 3-4 pancakes )

1 CUP SELF RAISING FLOUR
1 CUP MILK
1 EGG

Add Self Raising Flour into a large mixing bowl.
Make a well in the middle of bowl, add egg & milk. Stir with a spoon until consistency is smooth.
Cook both sides on low heat. Serve & enjoy.

Notes

This is the easiest, fool-proof pancake recipe I have come across. I make these pancakes at least once or twice a week. The smaller pancakes are perfect for little fingers, great for playdates, mum's morning tea and kids lunchboxes.

This recipe had me at ‘3 ingredients’ as the title of this recipe. I love a simple recipe that requires very little. The best thing is, these 3 ingredients are staples in my household so i can whip this up anytime whenever the kids feel like pancakes without rushing to the store

Too quick and easy. It;s great to remember filling items like these that are good for the budget. Especially in School holidays when you can’t seem to keep the food up to them. Thanks for sharing.

This is my go to pancake recipe thanks to mum when we were kids! Cheap, easy and quick! We add a drop of vanilla extract too sometimes.

That’s hilarious, this is the only recipe I use for my pancakes – mum taught me this one years ago and it’s the best and really, the healthiest too.
