DESCRIPTION

Here is a really simple pancake recipe which is my go to every year. Suitable for baby and all the family.

INGREDIENTS

100g plain flour

2 eggs

250ml milk mixed with 50ml water

25g butter

METHOD

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and then make a well in the centre.

2. Whisk the eggs, milk and water together. Gradually add the mixture to the flour, whisking constantly to achieve a smooth batter. When all the liquid has been added, scrape around the edges of the bowl to mix in any excess of flour. Whisk once more until the batter is completely smooth.

3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the butter to the pan and when it has fully melted, allow to cool slightly and then whisk into the milk mixture. Your pan will be nicely greased now to do your first pancake.

4. Ladle a small amount of the pancake mixture onto the hot pan, swirling the mixture gently to make a thin coating over the whole base of the pan.

When the pancake mixture becomes lightly golden around the outside and has cooked enough that it has loosened from the bottom of the pan, flip the pancake gently using a spatula or with a good flick of your wrist! The other side with only take a few seconds to cook.

5. Layer the pancakes between sheets of greaseproof paper and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest.

Serve whatever way you like: berries and natural yogurt for the little ones, savoury cheese & avocado 🥑

TOP TIPS FOR COOKING PANCAKES:

• Make sure your pan is hot enough

• There’s no need to grease the pan between pancakes

• Don’t whisk the melted butter in when it’s too hot as it will curdle the mixture

• I always double the recipe as batter will keep for a few days in the fridge and everyone always wants more in our house!
• The mixture also freezes perfectly.
