  • In a bowl add the flour and baking powder, make a well in the centre and set aside.
  • In a jug or bowl add the lightly beaten egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract and combine.
  • In another bowl whisk together the spread and sugar, then gradually add the buttermilk mixture and stir together.
  • Pour half the buttermilk mixture into the flour and mix together, then add the remaining half and mix until you have a smooth batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 100°c. This is to keep you pancakes warm as you cook them.
  • Melt some spread in a small frying pan, then add a dollop of batter to the centre of the pan and cook for around 2mins or until bubbles start to appear, turn over and cook for a further minute or until cooked through. Place on a heat proof plate and keep warm in the oven.
