Lovely Experience - Pancakes

Another lovely recipe, taken from the River Cottage cook book we got as a Xstmas gift from our lovely uncle. Husband made it for a Sunday breakfast treat!

Ingredients

Makes about 16:

250g plain white or fine wholemeal flour

A pinch of sea salt

Two medium eggs, lightly beaten

About 600ml of whole milk.

A little sunflower oil

To serve:

Caster sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice. (However, I do love it with Golden Syrup or Maple Syrup hummm)

Directions

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

Pour in the eggs, add about 50ml of the milk and start to whisk, gradually incorporating the flour into the wet ingredients in the centre.

When you have a thick batter forming in the middle, add a bit more milk and whisk in a bit more flour.

Keep going in this way until all the milk has been added, all the flour has been incorporated, and you have a smooth batter - about the consistency of single cream.

Now let it rest for 30 minutes, and if it is has thickened up a bit, add a dash more milk to bring it back to the right consistency.

To cook the pancakes, heat a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over a medium heat. 

When it’s hot, swirl a tablespoon of oil around the pan, then tip out the excess.

Add a small ladelful (around 50ml) of batter, just enough to cover the base of the pan and swirl it around until it covers the base.

Cook for a minute or so, until lightly cooked underneath, then flip over and cook for a minute more.

Voilá!
