Ingredients
4 total- 5 eggs
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 250 g of plain flour, sieved
- 6 tbsp of vegetable oil
Method
3 stepsStep 1
In a mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp coarse ground black pepper and 50ml cold water with a whisk. Gradually add the flour and whisk well for 2 mins or until the mixture is smooth and has no lumps. If you have time, leave the batter in the fridge overnight as this results in a greater rise, flavour and texture.
Step 2
In two 20cm cake tins or cast iron skillets, add the vegetable oil and place in the oven for 5 mins to get the oil piping hot, then pour in half of the batter into the middle of each tin or skillet and bake for 20 mins in a preheated oven at 230ºC/210ºC fan/gas 8. until it’s crisp and golden brown.
Step 3
Serve with roast beef, vegetables and gravy.
