Instructions

  1. Roughly tear up the white bread and add it to the bowl of the Cook Processor fitted with the MultiBlade. Close the lid and press Pulse for 10 seconds until the bread is crumbled up. Then pour in the whole milk, the caster sugar, the baking powder, the vanilla extract and a little pinch of salt to taste.

  3. Close the lid and press Pulse again for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and press Pulse for another 10 seconds until all the ingredients are mixed well into a runny pancake batter. Don’t blend the batter for too long or you will beat the air out of the egg whites.

  4. Remove the MultiBlade. Pour a drop of vegetable oil in a small pancake pan and place the pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop a good portion of the bread batter to the hot pan (depending on how large or small you want your pancakes to be). You can work in batches if you like.

  5. Bake the pancakes for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Then carefully lift the pancake using a rubber spatula to see if it's golden enough and flip it over on its uncooked side. Cook the pancake for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Remove the pancake and keep it warm on a clean plate under some tinfoil. Add another drop of oil to the hot pan and another spoonful of the pancake bread batter. Repeat this until there’s no batter left anymore. Then transfer the hot pancakes onto plates, add your favorite topping and serve hot.
