Step-by-Step Directions

- Add all the ingredients to the Thermomix bowl.
- Mix for 3 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Mix again for 3 sec/speed 5.
- Heat a teaspoon of butter in a frying pan over medium to high heat. You only need a small amount to grease the bottom. The pan should be hot enough that the batter sizzles when it hits it. Pour some batter into the hot pan, and when bubbles appear on the surface, flip it over.

Storage
Store the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Place baking paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. Reheat in the microwave (30 seconds), toaster, or frying pan.
To freeze pancakes, let them cool completely, then stack them with baking paper in between and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster, microwave, or frying pan.
Common Questions
Rubbery pancakes are usually caused by overmixing the batter, which develops too much gluten. Don't mix any longer than 10-15 seconds.
Yes! You can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
There are a few reasons why pancakes stick to the pan; (1) The pan isn't non-stick or appropriately greased. Use butter or oil and ensure the pan is hot before pouring the batter. (2) The batter is too thin, which can cause it to spread too much. Try adding a little more flour. (3) You're flipping too early. Wait until bubbles form on the surface before flipping.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Pancakes
Ingredients
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 290 g milk
- 1 large egg
- Small knob of butter for frying
Instructions
- Add the self-raising flour, baking powder, milk and eggs to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with a spatula. Mix again for 3 sec/speed 5. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes while you prepare the frying pan.
- Heat a teaspoon of butter in a pan over medium-high heat, just enough to lightly grease the bottom. The pan is ready when the batter sizzles upon contact.
- Pour some batter into the hot pan. When bubbles form on the surface, flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides - about 1 minute per side.
- Serve immediately with delicious toppings like fresh berries, lemon and sugar, maple syrup, or butter.

So glad you enjoyed them xx
Ali says
Can I use all purpose flour, or modify it somehow, instead of self raising flour? Thanks
Vicki says
Hi Ali, yes, if you have baking powder you could add 2 teaspoons to the plain flour. I don't recommend using the plain flour on its own otherwise the pancakes will be flat and will taste rubbery (I have accidentally used plain flour before). Kind regards, Vicki.
