Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cream of tartar, and baking soda until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Gradually add the milk and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick and smooth, similar to the consistency of heavy cream. Stir in vanilla extract, if using. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. For best results, lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. (1 minute)

05

Step

Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set. (3-4 minutes)

06

Step

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side. (2-3 minutes)

07

Step

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. (15-20 minutes)

08

Step

Serve the Scotch Pancakes immediately with butter, jam, fresh cream, fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking.
If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
To keep the pancakes warm while cooking the remaining batter, place them on a wire rack in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
