• Put the flour, eggs, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
• Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
• Set a frying pan or crêpe pan that has a base measurement of 15-16cm over a medium heat and, using kitchen paper, carefully wipe it with a little melted butter. When hot, cook each pancake for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go. You should end up with 12.
• For the filling, whisk together all the ingredients until semi whipped and still spreadable, the more you whisk it the harder it will be to spread on the pancakes. You can adjust the consistency by whisking more as you go along or loosening the mix by adding a little double cream.
