Ingredients
- 100 g of plain flour
- 1 dash of oil, for frying
- 1 large egg
- 300 ml of milk
Method
Step 1
Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre, break in the egg and pour in half the milk. Whisk together, gradually incorporating the flour to make a smooth, thick batter. Beat well to remove lumps, then stir in the rest of the milk.Step 2
Heat a little oil or butter in a medium frying pan, then tip off the excess into a bowl. Pour 2 tbsp of batter into the pan, tilting it as you pour, until the batter thinly coats the base. Cook over a moderate heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until golden brown on the underside.Step 3
Flip the pancake over with a palette knife, cook the other side until golden brown. Slide onto a plate, then cook the remaining pancakes one at a time.Step 4
You can have whatever toppings you like on these pancakes - we added mandarins and passion fruit with a warm mandarin juice syrup, made by slowly dissolving 20g of caster sugar into the juice of 4 of the fruit on a low heat.
