British Pancake Recipe
Makes about 6 large pancakes
Ingredients:
·
4tbsp plain flour
(about 100g)
·
1 large free range egg
·
½ pint semi-skimmed milk + water (about
300ml - ¾ milk ¼ water)
·
Pinch of salt
·
Butter for frying
How to make pancakes:
1.
Sieve the flour and salt into a large
bowl and make a well in the mixture.
2.
Break in the egg and stir to make a
breadcrumby mix.
3.
In a jug add 1/3 of a pint of milk and
top up with water to make 1/2 a pint (200ml milk, 100ml water) - this makes a
lovely light batter. Add the milk and the water mix bit by bit, beating
constantly to avoid lumps.
*if you have a food processor just throw all the ingredients in and zap until smooth!
4.
Pop a large frying pan over a medium
heat. Add a large knob of butter (roughly 50g) and melt.
5.
Pour the excess butter into a small bowl
and reserve it for later.
6.
Using a ladle pour a spoonful of the
pancake batter into the hot pan and swirl to get a full covering - cook for
about 1 min each side (it's ready when it's easy to flip over).
7.
Serve immediately with sugar and lemon
or other exciting toppings.
Delicious!!
