How to make them:

1.  Mix the self-raising flour, baking powder, golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.

2. Create a well in the centre and add the eggs, vanilla essence melted butter and milk.

3. Whisk together until smooth then pour into a jug.

4. Heat a tiny knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy, pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Cook on one side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until the batter is used up.
