How to Make Honey Pancakes

Step 1 — Prepare the Batter

Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Make a well in the centre.
Mix the whole milk with 100ml of water in a jug.
Crack the eggs into the well and begin whisking slowly.
Pour in the milk mixture gradually, whisking continuously and drawing the flour in from the sides until fully incorporated.

Step 2 — Add the Honey

Once the mixture is smooth with no lumps, add a generous tablespoon of honey.
Whisk again until the honey is fully blended and the batter is silky.

Step 3 — Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Lightly grease the pan with melted butter.
Use a ladle to pour around 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan. Swirl gently so the base is evenly coated — the goal is a thin, delicate pancake.
Cook for about 45 seconds until the underside turns golden.
Flip with a palette knife and cook for another 30 seconds until lightly freckled.

Step 4 — Serve & Top

Slide the cooked pancake onto a warm plate.

Repeat the process until all the batter is used.

Serve warm with your favourite toppings. We recommend:

A drizzle of honey
Fresh orange slices
Blackberries
A handful of pecans for crunch

These toppings complement the natural sweetness of the honey and add a beautiful mix of flavours and textures.

Why Honey Works Perfectly in Pancakes

Honey not only adds a natural sweetness, but it also:

Helps create a smoother batter
Adds moisture and richness
Enhances browning for a beautiful golden colour
Pairs perfectly with fruit and nuts

If you prefer a stronger flavour, try using a bold honey like oak or blackcurrant. For a lighter sweetness, wildflower or apple orchard honey works beautifully.
