To make Pancakes: Prepare mix the evening before, or if prepared in the morning let the mix rest for 15 minutes before cooking.
Place all ingredients, except champagne, into TM Bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl then mix 5 sec/speed 5 to ensure all the flour is incorporated. If cooking the pancakes the next day, place mixture into a container and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to cook the pancakes, heat a small frying pan over moderate heat and add a dob of butter.
Gently stir the 60ml champagne through the mixture until it is just incorporated.
Place ¼ cup pancake mix into pan and cook until bubbles begin to form and edges start to firm (approximately two minutes).
Flip the pancakes and cook another couple of minutes until golden.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan each time. This recipe should make 10 pancakes.
