In a separate bowl, add 1 large egg, half of the ¾ cup (177ml) of milk, and 1 teaspoon (5ml) of vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients well, then create a well in the flour mixture, and pour in the egg mixture. Create a well in the flour mixture, and using a whisk, mix in the wet ingredients until it becomes a smooth, thick batter. Gradually incorporate the remaining milk to achieve a batter with the consistency of heavy cream (or pouring cream in the UK); you may not need to use all of the milk.
Prepare the Pan
Heat a large non-stick frying pan on your stovetop. Lightly grease it with sunflower oil. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Cooking The Pancaked
Using a ladle or measuring cup, drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot pan (about 2 heaping tablespoons will do), leaving enough space between each one for them to spread. Keep an eye on the surface of the pancakes. When bubbles start to form, it’s time to flip them. Use a spatula to turn each pancake carefully. Cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until they turn a light golden brown. As each pancake is done, transfer it to a wire rack. Cover the pancakes with a clean tea towel to keep them soft and warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter until you’ve used up the batter.
Serving
Finally, serve your delicious Scotch Pancakes immediately. You can customize them with your choice of toppings, such as butter, and drizzle them with warmed raspberry jam.
