To start, take 2 cups of maida, or what is in other words known as plain flour or refined flour, as your base for the pancake batter. Maida has a soft, light texture to pancakes; this makes it perfect for absorbing syrup or honey.
- 2
Now, mix the dry ingredients in your flour.
- 3
Together with the sugar, also mix in 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 Tsp of baking soda.
- 4
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavour of all the other ingredients in the batter.

Now, melt two tablespoons of butter in a separate bowl. This butter not only contributes richness to the pancake batter but also renders that golden colour and a slight crispiness when the pancakes are cooked.
- 6
Once melted, the butter is combined with 11/2 cups of milk and whisked until the mixture becomes smooth.
- 7
Milk adds moisture to the batter and helps bring all the dry ingredients together to form a well-interacted and pourable mixture.
- 8
Mix the milk and butter well, then pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients.
- 9
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix with a spatula or whisk.
- 10
Mix just enough to combine, still leaving a thick but pourable batter. Add a splash of milk if it seems too thick.

Now that the batter is ready, it's finally time to cook the pancakes. Put a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and once hot, lightly grease the surface with a bit of butter.
- 12
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet, and then finish giving it a round shape.
- 13
Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until you see some bubbles forming on the top. Now, when the edges start to set, flip it over with the spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or till golden brown.
- 14
Once done, take the pancakes from the skillet and serve them on a plate.
- 15
Repeat the process with the rest of the batter by greasing the skillet between every batch with a bit of butter so they do not stick and remain golden crispy edges.

Finally, serve it with a huge chunk of butter and honey drizzled on top for an incredible sweetness. The butter melts into the warm pancake, and each mouthful has a smoothness of natural sweetness from the honey.
