    Ingredients

    100g plain flour

    2 eggs

    300ml semi-skimmed milk

    1 tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable, plus extra for


    frying

    pinch salt

    Method
    STEP 1
    Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large
    mixing bowl.

    STEP 2
    Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the
    middle.

    STEP 3
    Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-
    skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then
    start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing
    the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the
    flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth,
    thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to
    beat.

    STEP 4
    Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the
    thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady
    stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring
    and whisking until you have a batter that is the
    consistency of slightly thick single cream.

    STEP 5
    Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it
    with oiled kitchen paper.

    STEP 6
    Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to
    move the mixture around for a thin and even
    layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the
    mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.

    STEP 7
    Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If
    the pan is the right temperature, the pancake
    should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs
    and will be ready to turn.

    STEP 8
    Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under
    the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make
    sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of
    the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30
    secs before turning out onto a warm plate.

    STEP 9
    Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them
    as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze
    the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or
    make them up to a day ahead.

    RECIPE TIPS

    REHEATING PANCAKES
    To oven reheat, stack the pancakes on a heatproof
    plate; cover with foil. Warm at 180C/fan
    160C/gas 4 for 10-15 mins from cold or 5-10
    mins from room temperature. To microwave, stack,
    cover with cling film, pierce the film. Reheat on
    High for 1 min.

    SWEET & SAVOURY


    Onion, cheese & bacon Fry a chopped onion, then
    add chopped streaky bacon and cook until golden.
    Tip onto pancakes, grate over cheddar, fold up and
    eat hot. Tropical fruit & ginger: Fresh tropical
    fruits, stem ginger syrup and Greek yogurt.

    I just fully substituted the milk with yoghurt and


    they turned out great, barely different from the
    time I made them with milk. Lovely recipe :)
