Making pancakes with oil instead of butter
Asked on 1 Jul 2018 by greendadof4
just a comment/suggestion re Delia's deflector pancake recipe - I suffer with chronic asthma and struggle with the smoke when making. I tried using rapeseed oil instead of budget today and worked a treat. Taste and behave just as good without any smoke or smell - kids loved them too

Hello,
We’ve not had a problem with smoke when following the recipe but it is important to reduce the heat before the butter (or oil) is added to the pan.
Butter has a lovely flavour, but for those who have health concerns like you or are looking to reduce saturated fat, rapeseed oil is a good substitute.
Kind regards
Lindsey
