How to make fluffy pancakes

So getting the right batter is the A and O for delicious pancakes. Test your batter with a spoon and see if it is running thick but slow and nicely off it. Get it as smooth as possible to get a better result.

2 ½ tablespoons of white or brown sugar

2 teaspoons of baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 cup of milk (don’t use the light version)

½ teaspoon of vanilla essence

4 teaspoons of vegetable oil
