  • 60g butter, melted, cooled


  • 1 cup (250ml) milk


  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Directions

  • Sift the flour and baking powder into a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar. Combine the eggs, butter, milk and vanilla in a jug. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk mixture and use a whisk to mix to a smooth batter. Cover with plastic wrap. Stand 10 minutes.

Remove from pan and keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture.
