Pancake Recipe | 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!!
