Ingredients (makes about 8 pancakes)
• 1 ½ cups self-raising flour (or plain flour + 2 tsp baking powder) – use wholemeal for extra fibre
• 1 tbsp sweetener (instead of sugar, or use a mix of sugar & sweetener if preferred)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 ¼ cups skimmed milk (can also use unsweetened almond or oat milk for fewer calories)
• 1 large egg
• Low-calorie cooking spray (instead of butter/oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder (if using plain flour), sweetener, and salt.
2. Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together skimmed milk, egg, and vanilla.
3. Make the batter: Slowly add the wet mix into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix (a few lumps are fine).
4. Cook pancakes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with low-calorie cooking spray.
5. Pour & cook: Drop in ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on top, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
6. Serve: Stack them up and enjoy with fresh berries, fat-free yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

✅ Slimming World Notes:
• Using sweetener instead of sugar keeps it low-syn or even syn-free (depending on the sweetener brand).
• Using low-calorie spray instead of butter for cooking saves syns.
• Stick to fat-free natural yogurt, fruit, or a little sugar-free syrup for toppings.
