Jam(Jelly) Donut Pancakes

Instructions

1. Combine together flour, baking powder and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the melted butter/oil, egg, vanilla and milk. Slowly whisk well until smooth. Set aside.
2. Heat a nontick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter or oil on a paper towel to lightly grease pan. Pour less than ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently with the back of your spoon/ladle into a round shape. Spoon 1 teaspoon of Jam onto the centre of the batter and then gently pour a little pancake batter evenly over the top to cover the jam completely. (You can gently seal it with the back of your spoon to ensure no jam touches the pan, or your jam can burn or stick).
3. When the underside is golden, gently flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter and jam.
4. Prepare a wide shallow dish with the sugar and immediately place each pancake onto the sugar while they're still warm. Evenly coat both sides and place onto a serving dish. (Optional: Melt 1 tablespoon butter to brush onto the pancakes before coating in the sugar to help the sugar stick better).
5. Combine the jam and water in a serving jug, and whisk until a syrup forms.
6. Drizzle the jam syrup over the top to serve!
