British style pancakes!

Ingredients

  • 110g/4oz plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 200ml/7fl oz milk
  • 75ml/3fl oz water
  • 50g/2oz butter

Method

Sift flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the middle.

Break eggs into the middle, slowly incorporate into flour with a whisk.

Mix water and milk together, and add gradually, whisking as you go. Whisk until batter is smooth like single cream.

Let the batter rest overnight in the fridge, the next morning gently whisk it back to smooth.

Melt the butter in a small pan, take a couple of tablespoons and put it in the batter, mix in.

Heat a frying pan, add a little butter to it and swirl around.

Ladle a small amount of batter into the pan, tipping the pan around to spread it out. When golden brown underneath, and you can start to see it cook on the top, flip it over in the pan and cook the other side (takes less time). Repeat to make pancakes. Usually it’s best if the pancakes are being eaten as soon as they’re cooked, so someone needs to be the dedicated chef!

Serve with slices of lemon to squeeze over and sugar, or strawberries and cream, or nutella and banana…
