Ingredients

  • 150g plain flour
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 300ml full-fat milk
  • 2 eggs
  • melted butter, for frying

Directions

  1. Put the flour, sugar, milk and eggs in a food processor with a pinch of salt. Whizz until smooth, then strain into a jug. Cover and set aside to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. Heat a 16cm non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Dip some kitchen paper in melted butter and use to wipe the base of the pan. When hot, pour in just enough batter to cover the base – tilt the pan so batter evenly and thinly covers the base, pouring any excess back into the jug. Cook for 1 minute until golden, flip over and cook for a further minute until golden. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat, stacking the pancakes with greaseproof paper as you go.

  3. Serve warm or cool.
