I'm a happy girl, because I absolutely love these and always get them on roadtrips. I make excuses to get them. I know, it's bad.
I make regular-by-sight pancakes for the kids but always lament that they aren't Maccas hotcakes. Does this make me pathetic? Probably.
But now I've cracked it, finally. It's perfect. I am happy. I never have to go to Maccas to get my fix again! This also makes 10 x 15cm diameter hotcakes for about $2.50. I can live with that too, believe me.
I just hope I don't Overdose.
Ingredients:
2 cups plain flour
2 tb caster sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb soda
1 tsp salt
600ml buttermilk (i.e. one carton)
80g butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Method:
Put your buttermilk into your bowl. Sift flour and melt the butter. Then put it all in your mixing bowl and with electric mixer, mix together until a fluffy mixture. (Took me about 3 minutes with a kitchenaid, so about 5 minutes with a hand beater).
Heat your pan on a medium high heat and melt a knob of butter.
Using a ladle, spoon the mixture onto the pan.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes - the top should be quite 'holey' and looking part way to a crumpet.
Then turn over for 1 minute - then serve!
Serve with honey or maple syrup and more butter... and share the recipe with your friends!!
Oh no! I sence pancake overload in my house tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks hun x
yum! I love their hotcakes too! when we went out to eastgardens the other day we were 1/2 hour early so I got 2 packs of hotcakes and the kids loved them. First time for then and a long time for me but definitely going to have to make these!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for outing yourself as a mcdonalds hotcake lover :)
ohhh, yummy!
ReplyDeleteI really like them too...thanks so much for sharing :D
xo, Kali
Haha you're hilarious! :P Yours will no doubt be better as you use real maple syrup!
ReplyDeleteOh yes L! I hope you bought back the 2 litre jug right? :P
ReplyDeleteI've got a carton of buttermilk that is destined for these this weekend!! :) Thanks Liss!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, I made them today and your recipe is spot on. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what I did wrong but my batter never got to light and fluffy even after 15 mins of using a beater. I had a thick batter but nothing like the picture.
ReplyDeletePerhaps my bicarb/baking powder had lost its oomph as the end result was flat jacks.
oooooh this is one of the 2 things i miss now that i no longer eat Maccas! (these and cheeseburgers, nothing is quite like a maccas cheeseburger!)
ReplyDeleteThese have to go on the next shopping list and then i'll make them when the kids aren't home... of course just to make sure i get them right lol
Oh how good are maccas pancakes! A few years ago I made a new pancake recipe and thought the batter looked too thick so milked it down. Whilst eating said pancake, I realised it tasted and was the same texture as a maccas one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get my kitchen back, I'll def be trying this one.
I've made these loads of times and they're always a hit :). I'm making a batch of batter now and am going to freeze it to take camping, we will see if it works :)
