Classic pancake with lemon and sugar
Ingredients
100g plain flour
Pinch of salt
1 large egg
300ml milk
2-3tsp oil
To serve:
Lemon wedges
Caster sugar or golden syrup
Method:
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the egg and milk and beat with a wire whisk, or electric handheld whisk, to make a smooth batter.
- Heat a small pancake pan or heavy-based frying pan, then add a small amount of oil swirling it around the pan until melted. Pour in a thin stream of batter, tilting the pan so that it flows evenly across the surface. Cook over medium heat until set, then flip the pancake over to cook the other side.
- Cook eight small pancakes altogether, adding a little oil to the pan before cooking each one.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of caster sugar or golden syrup on top.
