Easy foolproof recipe for delicious homemade Scotch Pancakes by Mary Berry! Just five ingredients and ten minutes for an amazing brunch treat!Easy foolproof recipe for delicious homemade Scotch Pancakes by Mary Berry! Just five ingredients and ten minutes for an amazing brunch treat!Scotch pancakes (short for Scottish pancakes) are similar to drop pancakes or sweetened blini’s. Since you know how much I love pancakes, you can imagine how I feel about ready made pancakes!

They sell them in the UK in most supermarkets and I’ve been a fervent lover of them (along with my little brother) since I was little. The same little brother was kind enough to get me a copy of Mary Berry’s 100 Cakes and Bakes for Christmas, which contains this recipe for homemade Scotch Pancakes by Mary Berry.

Here’s what the shop version looks like – they’re actually amazingly fluffy and delicious!

Scotch Pancakes by Mary Berry

Author: Kerry @ Kerry Cooks
Ingredients
  • 300g self - raising flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 60g caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 200ml milk
  • a little vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. To make the pancakes, start by sieving the dry ingredients into a bowl and making a well in the middle and add the egg and milk into the well. Beat well until the mixture has the consistency of thick batter, adding a touch more flour or milk if its needed.

  2. To cook, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with a dash of vegetable oil. To make sure I get evenly sized pancakes, I use a third of a cup measure to portion the batter into the pan. You could also use an ice cream soup or large spoon. In the pan, guide the batter into a circle.

  3. Once bubbles start to appear on the top of the pancakes, they're ready to be flipped!

  4. Cook the pancakes batch by batch, keeping them warm in a low oven until you're ready to eat them.

They’re especially good with butter, honey, maple syrup, nutella – anything in fact! They’re endlessly customisable too – how awesome would chocolate chip scotch pancakes be? What about lemon scotch pancakes? Yum!

One of my favourite ways of eating these is with blueberry maple syrup! Just heat a handful of blueberries and a few tbsp of maple syrup or honey in a saucepan until the berries start to burst and it all becomes a gorgeous violet colour….

    Just a little advice – you need far more than 200ml milk otherwise you won’t be able to spoon the Batter out of the bowl. More like 300-400ml is needed to make a suitable batter.

    Delicious and so quick and easy to make. Instructions are clear & will give success every time.
    Serve them with fresh fruits, raspberries are my favourite + a spoonful of yogurt at breakfast time.

    Right, this recipe is getting tried for brunch tomorrow when friends come to stay. We’ve had the fluffy american pancakes from BBC Good Food….4 times since my first attempt, but would love to try a different one.

    Yum, I love scotch pancakes. I used Mary’s recipe a while back to make some on an Aga {which I cannot recommend enough!} but I found them too sweet, so I ditched the sugar. I like my scotch pancakes pancakey, buttered and a bit of jam πŸ™‚
    How awesome was ‘Bezza’ yesterday on Comic Relief GBBO, I just love her!

            yes,, did you see Mary’s tip last year for cubing it then sitting it in hot water for 10 mins to soften perfectly. Works a treat!
            If you didn’t see Mondays CRGBBO, Paul called Mary ‘Bezza’.
            Last night’s was the best GBBO EVER! oh, I cried with laughter, it was so good!

            Brilliant, can’t wait!
            I’m sure Mary’s tip works but… microwave?

          • The Vagabond Baker says

            January 23, 2013 at 10:17 am

            I don’t have a microwave in the van. And when I do use them I end up melting the butter! This method is very even. Try searching You Tube for it.

          • kerrycooks says

            January 23, 2013 at 10:35 am

            Yeah it is good for people who don’t have microwaves πŸ™‚ I don’t seem to have any trouble with it melting, you do have to keep an eagle eye on it though

            Do you bake stuff in your van then? How cool!

            January 23, 2013 at 10:47 am

            oh yes! Quite a few of these posts have been van baked! Off the top of my head, Lemon Loaf, Hokey Pokey, peach and almond muffins were, among others. oh, and you can see me making girdle scones in it!

          • kerrycooks says

            Amazing! Almond muffins sound delish πŸ™‚

    Have you tried many recipes from Mary Berry’s cook book? I watched the second season of the Great British Bake Off and absolutely loved it – so fun, and not super nasty and competitive like most cooking competition shows.

    Your pancakes look great (as always!). I think my favourite kind is just plain with maple syrup or chocolate chip pancakes. Usually when I eat pancakes though, they are more like crepes wrapped around a savory filling, like sauteed veggies and ground turkey. I want to eat more dessert type pancakes πŸ˜‰

      Thanks Lucy! I think these would be amazing with chocolate chips in. Or in a stack with sliced banana and a drizzle of chocolate sauce like Nutella.

      This is the only recipe I’ve tried from the book so far but I’m looking forward to trying lots more. I’ll do a review of the book too, its full of simple easy must have cake recipes. If you were a beginner or only wanted to have one essential cake book it would definitely be the book for you! Plus I really like the way it has pictures of every cake.

      I loved the bake off too! It was amazing – such nice people!
