A great recipe that is indistinguishable from a classic Scotch pancake. I tweak it to match my childhood recipe by adding a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. And I add the first knob of melted butter from the pan to the batter. Rather than jug or whisk, I use an old protein-shake shaker from the gym (!) and its measuring scoop to make an easy go-anywhere pancake kit.

I made these drop scones for Shrove Tuesday instead of traditional pancakes. They were delicious with lemon curd, but they were rather thin. I always use large eggs, so if this is the problem, I’ll reduce the milk to compensate, next time and there will be many more next times!

Made these… very scrummy. Added a rather ripe banana and some vanilla essence and they could be eaten as is or with a little butter… yum!

Excellent recipe. I add a bit of melted butter to stop sticking (no oil in pan needed), and often add grated cheese to make them savoury, which works really well.

One of the best gluten free pancake recipes I’ve made. Made double batch & made half as in recipe & added fried leek & peas to the other half. Both versions worked well.

Best gluten free pancakes yet ... and so easy ! As someone else suggested I made half the quantity and added a tablespoon of sugar and a few drops vanilla essence.

Extremely good and super quick. Would be brilliant even if they weren't incredibly easy and fast to make. I made half the recipe and it yielded about 8!

Made these for my son who has just started a low Fodmap diet. Added some sugar to make them more like the ones we normally have but 300ml of milk would have been way too much. I tried with half that and it was still a little too runny. They tasted good though!

I really want to make these but Step 1 says mix flour and baking powder - how much baking powder please? None is listed in the ingredients list.

Lovely! Made savoury versions with 75g of cheddar and 30g of parmesan (approx measures!). I also added black pepper, salt and half teaspoon of mustard powder and omitted the sugar of course. Yummy with butter, my husband didn't realise that they were gluten free!!

Fab pancakes, however, little less milk required, added vanilla and 1 tablespoon of sugar instead of two.

These were lovely, couldn't tell they were gluten free. I added sultanas to my batch as well, turned out really nice =)

Familiar comfort food. Recommend wiping skillet with a piece of greaseproof paper dipped in butter between batches and dropping scones on once butter begins to foam. We added a little more sugar as my mother's traditional recipe was quite sweet - may try with agave syrup next and less milk. Did end up with quite a plateful, I recommend halving the recipe if cooking for a small family.

Really light, and did not taste at all of raising agent, which can be an issue with these. I melted a tsp of butter in the pan and then added that to the batter (leaving a light film for frying) and transferred the batter to a large jug for mess free pancake action.

Well I was totally surprised, very yummy! Like the other lady used a little salt and spray oil in a hot pan. Easy to make for those surprise visitors as we don't keep a supply of goodies in the house anymore.

I do a very similar recipe but use golden syrup instead of sugar (gives a hint of crispness), and add a tiny shake of salt. It's very easy - I use a mini processor but it's never lumpy so that's not actually necessary. I only lightly spray oil onto the pan, then wipe off with kitchen towel to cut down on the greasiness and calories. Turn them just as the bubbles that have formed in the batter start to burst. Delicious.
