Here’s what you’ll need
All about the Batter
Start off with a decent sized mixing bowl, around 70-80g of plain flour and a pinch of sugar and salt. Follow this up with 120ml of fresh milk, 1 egg and begin to gently whisk to produce a mixture. Well... now that’s over, your all set!
A Perfect Pan for a Perfect Pancake
A large base non-stick frying pan is what you will need to make your perfect pancake. Apply a thin layer of melted butter to the pan and then set to a medium heat. Excited yet?! It’s now time to start with your batter. Simply pour a small amount into the pan and begin to tilt in a circular motion so that the batter covers the pan entirely. You’ll notice very small bubbles in the mixture once the pancake is almost done!
Do I Flip?
Now it’s time to make the biggest decision of all! Do I flip the pancake and embarrass myself in front of the family when it ends up either on the ceiling or on the floor or do I allow those last few seconds for it to lightly crisp in the pan ready to serve? Of course, that decision is down to you but for the inexperienced “flipper” may I suggest using a spatula to simply flip whilst in the pan. If it doesn’t work out the first time, Don’t Worry!! Practice will make perfect.
