The most classic, fail-safe, delicious flapjacks recipe. You’ll make this one again and again!
Ingredients
- 500ml flour
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tbsp butter, melted
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 250ml milk
Instructions
- Beat the eggs and gradually add the sugar.
- Add half of the milk and the melted butter to the egg mixture.
- Stir well.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add to the egg mixture.
- Gradually stir in the remaining milk to form a smooth mixture.
- If all ingredients are well mixed then don’t stir anymore.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough into a greased heavy bottom frying pan or into a griddle.
- Turn once the top is full of air bubbles (bottom should be golden brown) and bake on the other side.
- Serve with butter and syrup, honey or jam.

This is the best resipe I have tried with success. Thanks.
o.m.g iv’e never tasted anything so good in my life!!!

I recomend this recipe to all lovers of flapjacks
thank-you
Try using buttermilk instead of milk. Also, 250ml Nestle mini semi-sweet morsels work well. When I make them that way, I only use butter. No syrup, honey…
Great recipe – I had to add a little milk as the mixture was a little thick
Thanks, great recipe! We served it with bacon & maple syrup for brunch on a lazy Sunday… 🙂 I did put about 1/2 cup more milk in to get the right consistency.
YUM! Made these as a “late-night snack” with golden syrup and some blueberry cheesecake ice-cream…was divine!!!
Thnx for this very easy recipe, its the best one ive found!
Will be sticking to it most definitely!
Wonderful. Like my mom used to make! First batch slightly thick and dry. Added a bit of milk, turned them when bubbles started. Lovely soft and tasty.

thanks for sharing this recipe.. it was really easy for me to make as this is my first attempt at flapjacks (pancakes ).^O^
great recipe and also easy to make as this is my first attempt of pancakes… thanks for sharing this recipe..
Tried them this morning and overall they turned out very well but i couldn’t manage to get them smooth lightbrown colored like on the pic in the header… i used a simple frying pan and salted butter as grease and they turned out more goldenlike with a brown center and sides, suggestions how to get this smooth brown flapjack are welcome!! also i could only make +-10 flapjacks instead of the 25-30 like stated in the recipe, although i didn’t use a big pan. would be great if someone could help me out with those issues 🙂
It is the best flap jacks Recipe every
Looks like the real deal 🙂
Love this recipe they came out great
well thank you very much for showing us good methods i wish i could ship them to kenya thank you alot
delicious! I added a little extra milk as was too thick, but also added cinnamon and a mashed banana to the batter, served it with honey. Kids loved it and they got some fruit in!
I somehow found myself adding more milk to the mixture as mine turned out very thick. Once I added more milk they came out better.
OMG!!!! Thank you for this recipe I absolutely love it.
Ahh used maize flour and it didn’t work out. bummer!
i just need a receip for 200 serves please make it easy for me
These flapjacks are SUPER SOFT and easy
What’s the equivalent in cups to 500ml. All recipes I have give flour in grams or cups, please help.
I agree with you.I hope that helps.
Thanks Charliesmith for the share
