SIMPLE ENGLISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift flour into a bowl.
• Add salt and stir with a hand whisk.
• Add egg and slowly add milk while stirring.
• (batter will be more runnier than American pancakes).
• Refrigerate for an hour.
• Put a little oil in a medium sized frying pan and warm over medium heat, after coating bottom of frying pan, pour out extra oil.
• Pour 1/4 of a cup of batter in the pan and tilt so the batter covers the bottom of the pan.
• Flip pancakes after about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Repeat steps 4-6 until batter is gone.
• Serve with lemon and sugar, fruit, or Lyle's golden syrup.

ENGLISH PANCAKE BATTER

Steps:

• Melt a knob of butter in a pan, then leave to cool down.
• Meanwhile, place the flour in a bowl.
• Break the eggs into the bowl and pour in the milk.
• Mix until it turns into a smooth batter.
• Stir in the now cooled melted butter and leave to stand for about half an hour.
• This lets the starch expand and makes the finished pancake lighter.
• When you're ready to cook the pancakes, melt a little more of the butter along with a bit of oil in a frying pan.
• A non-stick pan is the best.
• When it is quite hot pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan.
• Swirl it until it covers the pan and you have a thin, even layer that should set almost immediately.
• After about a minute it should be ready to flip.
• Cook for 30 seconds on the other side and then tip onto a plate.
• Repeat until you have used up all the batter.
