Pancake Recipe 1: British Pancake Recipe

Makes about 6 large pancakes

Ingredients:

• 4tbsp plain flour (about 100g)
• 1 large free range egg
• ½ pint semi-skimmed milk + water (about 300ml - ¾ milk ¼ water)
• Pinch of salt
• Butter for frying

How to make pancakes:
Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the mixture.

Break in the egg and stir to make a breadcrumby mix.

In a jug add 1/3 of a pint of milk and top up with water to make 1/2 a pint (200ml milk, 100ml water) - this makes a lovely light batter.

Add the milk and the water mix bit by bit, beating constantly to avoid lumps.

Tip:*If you have a food processor just throw all the ingredients in and zap until smooth!

Pop a large frying pan over a medium heat.

Add a large knob of butter (roughly 50g) and melt.

Pour the excess butter into a small bowl and reserve it for later.

Using a ladle pour a spoonful of the pancake batter into the hot pan and swirl to get a full covering - cook for about 1 min each side (it's ready when it's easy to flip over).

Serve immediately with sugar and lemon or other exciting toppings
