Method

Rub your flour and butter together to make breadcrumbs.

Add your cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, golden syrup, milk and eggs. Use a knife to stir everything together.

Place heaped tablespoons of the batter on a warm griddle pan. A cast-iron skillet or frying pan will also do.

When bubbles start popping on the pancake, flip and cook for another 45 seconds.
