Tuesday 16th February 2021 is pancake day!
As easy as it seems I once made a right mess of making pancakes, so I thought i’d share a fail safe recipe that I always use from BBC Good Food!
Easy Pancakes
(This makes the larger, thin, flat pancakes)
Ingredients
- 100g plain flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300ml milk
- 1tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
- Lemon or Oranges, sugar or maple syrup, blueberries, strawberries or chocolate spread – anything you want on top!
Method
- Put the flour, eggs, milk, oil and a pinch of salt in to a bowl or large jug then whisk to a smooth batter.
- Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time (let’s face it we don’t have time) so cook straight away
- Set a medium frying pan over a medium heat and add a little oil for frying (or wipe with oiled kitchen paper)
- When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 minute on each side until golden. (The recipe says to keep warm as you go in a low oven, but ours don’t last that long – they’re eaten as soon as cooked!)
- Serve with your favourite topping.
Mum tip – you can layer the pancakes between baking parchment and then wrap in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months! Who knew!
