Pancake

Makes around 8 pancakes

Ingredients

• 110g/4 oz plain flour
• 1 large egg
• ½ pint/280ml milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter

Method

Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Break in the egg, add a pinch of salt and a splash of the milk.

Whisk the egg, gradually incorporating the flour, to make a smooth cream. Whisk in the rest of the milk and the melted butter.

Put all the ingredients in a blender jug with a pinch of salt. Whizz until smooth.

Brush a hot pan with oil before adding a ladleful of batter, tipping the pan so the mixture spreads evenly. Pour any excess back into the bowl.

When the pancake is browned on the bottom give the pan a shake to make sure the pancake is loose.
If it is sticking, use a spatula to loosen it. When it moves freely you are ready to toss it. The other side will only need a few seconds.
