Ingredients
- 120g Plain Flour
- 2 eggs
- 200ml milk
- 20g butter, plus extra for frying
- To Serve
- 2 lemons
- honey
Method
Step 1
Put the flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt and make a well in the middle.
Step 2
Beat the eggs in another bowl (or jug) and mix with the milk and 200ml water. Pour into the well in the flour and stir together to make a smooth batter.
Step 3
Decant into a jug for easy pouring later. Rest for about 30 minutes. Melt 20g butter and add to the batter, then mix well.
Step 4
Heat some butter in a frying pan (preferably non-stick or cast iron) and pour a small amount of the batter into the pan, tilting to cover the base with a thin layer. Pour any excess back into the jug. Cook until bubbles start to appear and then toss, or turn using a palette knife. Cook on the other side for less than a minute, then remove to a warm plate while you cook the rest of the batter.
Step 5
Serve each pancake with a little sugar scattered over and a squeeze of lemon juice.
