Ingredients

  • 30 g of unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 350 ml of whole milk
  • 260 g of plain white flour
  • 1 large pinch of salt

Method

  • Step 1

    Brown the butter by melting it in a pan over a medium heat, then cook for 3-4 mins until the solids turn golden, the oil darkens and the butter smells nutty. Take off the heat to cool a little.

  • Step 2

    Use a balloon whisk to whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in the milk (half the amount, if making it light), flour and salt. Then add the brown butter (or oil, for dairy free). If you’re making it light, finish by whisking in the water. The batter will keep in the fridge for up to 48 hrs.
