Quick Start Guide

AMERICAN
PANCAKES
DIRECTIONS
1 To install the grill plate, slide it into the front of the
base so it hooks in, then press down on the back
until it clicks into place. Place flat plate on top of
grill plate so it sits level. Select FLAT PLATE, set
temperature to 200°C and set time to 20 minutes.
Close the lid and press the dial to begin preheating,
(approximately 9 minutes).
2 While the unit is preheating, in a large bowl whisk
together the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and
a pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre of the dry
ingredients, crack in the eggs, pour in the melted
butter and milk. Whisk until a smooth pancake
batter.
3 When unit beeps to signify it has preheated, open
lid and melt a knob of butter onto the flat plate. Use
a piece of kitchen paper to evenly spread the butter
across the surface.
4 Spoon 4 ladlefuls of the mixture onto the flat plate.
Leave lid open to cook. Cook pancakes for 2-3
minutes until small bubbles form on top and the
underside is golden. Flip with a silicone spatula and
cook for 2-3 minutes on the remaining side until
cooked through.
5 Once the first batch of pancakes are cooked,
transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining
mixture, using a little more butter to coat the flat
plate each time. The batter will make 8-9 pancakes.
6 When cooking is complete, serve the pancakes with
maple syrup, yogurt and berries.
