Sunday Scotch pancakes
20 min
These are a nice treat on an autumnal Sunday morning, perfect for providing plenty of energy for a nice afternoon stroll and if there are any left over, they can be taken as a snack on the walk too! I hadn’t made Scotch pancakes for years, but after being inspired by one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s pancake recipes I decided to have a go at making my own and was pleased with these results.

- Stir the salt, sugar, flour and baking powder together. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and butter.
- Mix the contents of the two bowls together, stir in the raisins and whisk to form a batter, then cover it and allow to sit overnight.
- Heat griddle or non-stick pan and add some butter. Whilst this is heating stir the milk in to the batter to give it a better consistency.
- Use a tablespoon to put a healthy dollop of batter into a pan, or on a griddle – cook the first side, then flip when you see bubbles on the side facing you. Then cook the other side for about 2 minutes.
Tip
The batter doesn't have to be left overnight and the raisins and sugar are optional.
