First, place all the dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl and combine.

Next, in another bowl mix the egg, vanilla essence and oil then whisk together. Slowly add the warm milk as to not curdle the egg.

Here, pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well until batter forms a smooth consistency.

Heat your preferred skillet on medium to medium high and add a little oil. Pour the batter and allow to cook for 1 minute or until the surface firms and forms air bubbles then flip. Cook the remaining side for another minute then remove from the pan.

To finish, dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit or serve with melted chocolate and chocolate ships.
