Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 Griddle
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Fine Mesh Stainer
- 1 Measuring Cups Spoons
- 1 Liquid Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 2 cup plain flour (290 g | 10 oz)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener (60g| 2 oz)
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk (440ml)
- 1/4 cup cup butter (60g | 2 oz)
- 2 teaspoon teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
- Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).(The batter will be thick and creaming consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
- Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
- In a small bowl, mix the red wine vinegar, sugar, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until the sugar has melted into the mixture.
- When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Next, transfer all this pepper and onion mix into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!
