My children adore this - since they were kids till now. It is easy and quick. Best served with syrup and butter. You can get the syrup at Giant or Cold Storage. Some Carrefour have it, the one in Wangsa Maju doesnt.
You could get ready pancake mix in a box; but personally I think it is too pricey when compared to you doing your own in record time anyway. Dont bother about the exact measurement too much. I find it doesnt make much difference if you put one or two spoons of sugar or half teaspoon of salt instead of three quarter.. just enjoy doing it and having it with the kids.
Here's how -
1 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/3 cups fresh milk (use less if you want thicker pancakes. I use evaporated milk too if I dont have fresh milk)
oil
1. Mix the first four ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. In a smaller bowl beat egg sightly. Stir in milk and 3 tablespoons oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir until flour is just moistened.
3. Heat skillet. Brush lightly with oil.
4. Pour batter by 1/4 cupful (amount depends on the size of pancake you want)
5. Cook until the bubbles disappear. Turn pancake.
6. Serve with butter and syrup. Or jam or kaya. Honey. Or anything else you like.
ps - unfinished mixture can be kept untuil a couple of days in the fridge.
ps - that's (one brand) of the syrup
