INGREDIENTS
- 125g Co-op plain flour
- 2 Co-op British eggs
- 300ml semi-skimmed milk
- 25g Co-op unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 15-20g Co-op unsalted butter
- To serve:
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges and 6-8 tsp sugar
METHOD
- Sieve the flour into a bowl
- This helps take out any lumps in the flour and will add a little air to your pancake mix
- If you are cooking with a friend you can help each other
- Make a hole in the middle of the flour so that you can see the bottom of the bowl – this is called a well
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and then whisk the eggs with a fork
- Pour the eggs into the well then stir the eggs with a fork and watch the flour fall into the egg
- Don’t be tempted to bring the flour into the eggs, it will gradually fall in on its own
- Once the egg mixture is quite thick, whisk in the milk and watch the flour fall gradually into the batter
- Mix in the melted butter, cover and leave to stand for about 15 minutes
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add 1 tsp oil and a little of the butter
- Spoon a ladleful of the batter into the pan and then carefully move the pan around so that the mixture covers the base of the pan
- Cook for a couple of minutes, then flip the pancake with a spatula
- Cook for another minute then toss it for fun
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a little sugar
- Repeat with the rest of the batter
