Ingredients
6 total- 250 ml of semi-skimmed milk
- 1 tbsp of butter, melted then slightly cooled
- 1 splash of vegetable or sunflower oil, for frying
- 125 g of plain flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 egg
Method
3 stepsStep 1
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Create a well in the centre and add the egg with about a third of the milk and all of the melted butter. Combine everything with a whisk (an electric one works well). Once all the flour is incorporated, add the remaining milk and, using your whisk, combine it all. Transfer to a jug and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
To make a classic pancake, heat a tiny bit of oil in a non-stick frying pan, just to coat the pan. The pan must get very hot (you'll start to see smoke) before you add any batter.
Step 3
Add about a ladleful of pancake batter and swirl it about to cover the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat down slightly and cook through on both sides until golden. Use a spatula to turn it, or flip it gently with a flick of your wrist if you’re feeling lucky. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve the pancakes immediately with your favourite topping.
