Ingredients2 cups self-raising flour
(or cake flour & 3 tsp baking powder) ½ tsp salt ½ cup white sugar 2 large eggs 250ml milk 2 Tbsp butter, melted butter, for frying butter, for spreading 60-100ml jam (strawberry or apricot) 100g Cheddar cheese, grated 100ml fresh cream |
MethodSift the flour & salt into a mixing bowl.
Beat in the sugar, eggs, milk & melted butter well to make a smooth batter. Do not stir the batter again. Heat a large frying pan until hot & then turn the heat down to medium-high. Lightly coat the pan with butter & spoon in heaped tablespoons of batter leaving sufficient room between the flapjacks. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface, flip the flapjacks over & brown the other side. Place on a serving plate in a low oven to keep warm. Repeat for the remaining flapjacks ensuring that the pan is kept buttered & to a medium-high heat. Whip the cream to soft peaks. Remove the flapjacks from the oven and serve with butter & bowls of jam, grated Cheddar cheese & whipped cream. |
