Ingredients.

To make four coffee pancakes, you will need:

  • 250g plain flour

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 250g buttermilk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled

First, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, then set aside.

In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, instant coffee, and cooled, melted butter with a whisk. Then, use a spatula to add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix to combine.

Preheat a large, non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, ladle 1/4 of the batter into the pan and spread to approximately a 5-inch diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to form on the top of the batter, then flip the pancake and cook for 1-2 minutes more. 

Repeat with the remaining batter and serve hot - ideally with a cup of good coffee!
