Method

• 01
  Sift all the dry ingredients together into a bowl and combine. In another bowl (or jug) add the egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract and whisk until just combined.
• 02
  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture in. Mix together then add the mayonnaise and mix well to combine. (Don’t worry if you notice any scent coming from the mayonnaise, it will disappear completely after it's cooked).
• 03
  Place a homemade pancake mold (instructions for this are listed in the blog post above) onto a frying pan over low heat and pour half the mixture into the mould.
• 04
  Place a lid on the frying pan and leave it for 15 minutes. Once little bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edge is slightly cooked, lift the bottom of the pancake with an egg flipper then cover the pancake with the inverted frying pan and flip the whole thing together before placing it back on the heat.
• 05
  Place the lid over the top again and cook for another 15 minutes on the other side. To test if it is done, stick a skewer into the pancake. If it comes out clean, then the pancake is cooked through.
• 06
  Remove the pancake from the heat, remove the staples from the mold and take the pancakes out of the mould wearing gloves or a cooking mitten. Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings (e.g. whipped butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, ice-cream, chocolate flakes, etc. Let your imagination run wild!).
