Recipe for Pancakes!
Follow our step-by-step guide for how to make simple pancakes for Pancake Day on Shrove Tuesday. Serve with lemon and sugar, maple syrup or even Nutella!
Makes 8 – 10 pancakes
Ingredients:
100g plain flour
2 large eggs
1 tbsp caster sugar
250ml milk
2 tbsp melted butter, cooled
1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil for frying
TOP TIP! For the best results, make the batter a few hours ahead, cover and chill.
- Sift the flour into a bowl with a pinch of salt and make a well in the centre. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, milk and melted butter, to combine, then pour into the well. Using an electric hand whisk (or balloon whisk), whisk the liquid into the flour until you have a smooth batter.
- To cook the pancakes, heat a tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan until hot, a 16-18cm pan is ideal. Add 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, swirling it around the pan as you add it. The batter should make 8 – 10 pancakes in total.
- Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes, then flip over for a final minute on the other side. As the pancakes are ready, layer them between sheets of grease proof baking paper.
