Ingredients

•     125g/5oz plain flour
•     1 tsp salt
•     2 medium free range eggs
•     300ml milk
•     25g/1oz melted butter
•     Oil for frying

Method

•     Put the flour and salt in a large bowl, make a small well in the middle. Crack in the eggs, add a splash of the milk and the melted butter.
•     Use a balloon whisk to start whisking from the centre, gradually working your way outwards to incorporate the flour.
•     Once the flour is mixed in, continue to whisk whilst you gradually pour in the remaining milk. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter the consistency of single cream.
•     Place a tsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, use a ladle to drizzle in the batter, swirling the pan at the same time until the batter coats the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
•     Leave for around 30 seconds, the pancake should start to bubble on top and then, holding the pan firmly, carefully shake the pan to loosen the pancake. Slide a fish slice or a palette knife underneath the pancake and carefully turn the pancake over. It should be a rich golden brown on the bottom.
•     Leave for another 30 seconds and carefully lift the pancake to look underneath, making sure it’s cooked, then tip out of the pan onto a plate.
•     Repeat with the remaining batter mix.
•     Cover with your favourite topping and serve hot.
