Ingredients

Utensils

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 6 smaller bowls (for each colour)
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring jug
  • Kitchen measuring scales
  • Measuring spoons
  • Manual whisk, electric whisk (if you need extra help whisking) or a fork
  • Non-stick frying pan or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Spoon (for pouring batter)
  • Heat-safe plate or tray (for stacking or serving)
  • 1 cup or 125g self-raising flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp or 4g baking powder
  • 1 cup or 237ml milk
  • 2 tsp or 10ml vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp or 12-15g caster sugar
  • Natural food colouring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • Optional: whipped cream & rainbow sprinkles

How to make

Measure the pancake ingredients (self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract) using either a measuring cup, spoons, measuring jug or kitchen scales.

Cook the pancake batter for roughly 1 minute – each side. Use a spatula to flip your pancake once each side is cooked. You may need longer if your pancakes are thicker. Be sure to watch out for burning.

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients in step 1. You can use a manual whisk, fork or electric whisk on a slow speed. The batter mixture should look smooth and glossy.

Prepare the filling by whipping the cream with a whisk or fork, until soft peaks form and set to one side.

Add a small amount of oil or butter to a frying pan to prevent the mixture from sticking.

Assemble the stack by layering the pancakes with a spoonful of jam and a dollop of whipped cream between each. Stack 2–3 pancakes high for individual servings.

Turn on your hob and set it to a medium heat. Allow the frying pan to heat up for a few seconds.

Serve with a dusting of icing sugar and tea. Or, top with fesh berries or a sprig of mint.

Spoon your pancake batter into the centre of the pan. Around 2 dessert spoons make a pancake the size of a side plate once it spreads out. Or you can use more batter to make thicker pancakes.

How to make

Optional: measure out the chocolate chips and stir them into the mixture.

Measure your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar) using a measuring cup, spoons, measuring jug or kitchen scales.

Add a small amount of oil or butter to a frying pan to prevent the mixture from sticking.

Mix the dry ingredients together using a fork or spoon.

Turn on your hob and set it to a medium heat. Place your frying pan over the heat source.

In another bowl, measure your wet ingredients (egg, milk and vanilla extract) using a measuring cup, spoons or measuring jug.

Spoon your pancake batter into the centre of the pan. Cook each side for roughly 40 seconds to 1 minute. Use a spatula to flip your pancake and watch out for burning.

Whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract together. You can use a manual whisk, fork or an electric whisk on a slow speed.

Once your pancake is cooked, serve it warm with toppings of your choice.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mix until all the lumps are gone and the mixture looks smooth and glossy.

How to make

Measure your sweet potatoes and grate into a bowl. Once they’re grated, take a handful and squeeze the liquid out of it over a sink. Keep doing this until all your grated potatoes have been squeezed of liquid. Then lay out your clean tea towel or kitchen tissue, place your grated potatoes on top and dab them dry. It should look like grated cheese when you’re done.

Add your ingredients into a mixing bowl and use a fork to mix them together until it looks like a thick, scoopable batter.

Add a small amount of oil or butter to a frying pan to prevent the mixture from sticking.

Turn on your hob and set it to a medium heat. Allow the frying pan to heat up for a few seconds.

Next measure your red or spring onion, chop them into small chunks/ squares and keep them to one side.

Spoon around 2 dessert spoons of your pancake batter into the pan, use a spoon to flatten the mixture slightly. You can get around 4 small pancakes in 1 large pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Measure your ingredients (sweet potato, onion, garlic powder, spices, herbs, salt, pepper, baking powder, egg and chickpea flour, milk) using a measuring cup, spoons, measuring jug or kitchen scales.

Serve warm and enjoy with your chosen toppings, sauces and side dishes.
