Pancakes

They don't need a intro we all love pancakes and everyone embraces them on shrove Tuesday. Lets get flipping !!

A good non-stick pan is a must.

A palette knife or a very flexible and thin fish slice


Makes 10-12

Ingredients:

225g plain flour
Salt just a pinch
2 large eggs
600ml full fat milk
Knob of butter melted not too hot.

Flavourless oil. Sunflower or vegetable oil

Method:

Blitz all the ingredients or whisk them

Leave to rest for 30 minutes if possible
(We do this to let the batter relax and thicken if you need to add a splash more milk you can do it at this stage then)

Heat the pancake pan to a medium heat

Add a little of flavourless oil

Spoon one ladle of the batter

Swirl the pan so it coats the base of pan thinly

If it sticks at this stage don't panic it happens to everyone

This is a good indication whether you need to thin down the batter with milk or add a little more flour

Start again heat the pancake pan

Add oil

Ladle the batter and swirl it thinly around the pan

Leave to cook for a minute or so

Using the palette knife have a little peep under the pancake if its golden brown your ready to flip

If your confident flip the pan if not use your palette knife to flip the pancake

When brown on that side add to a warmed plate and repeat.
