Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tbsp Superfine sugar
• 1 Egg, separated
• 5 oz Low fat milk
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 handful of Raisins or Currants

Instructions

1. Sift the flour, baking powder and caster sugar into a large bowl.
2. Make a dip in the center and quickly stir in the egg yolk, milk,and melted butter with a wooden spoon.
3. Whisk the egg white until it forms stiff peaks and quickly fold into the mixture.
4. Heat and lightly grease a griddle pan (or frying pan if you don’t have one).
5. The pan is the right temperature when a drop of water dances and splutters on the surface.
6. Using a small ladle or drop enough batter onto the griddle to form pancakes of about 3 in in size.
7. Sprinkle a few raisins or currants onto the wet batter. Making 3 or 4 at a time works well.
8. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and they look slightly dry, turn and cook the other side until golden brown.
9. When cooked, either serve immediately, keep warm on a plate covered with foil in the oven. These are also commonly served cold with butter in Scotland.
10. If serving warm, serve with your favorite pancake topping. If serving cold serve with butter and jam.
