PANCAKES BRITISH STYLE

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
• Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it, then whisk the eggs into the flour.
• Slowly add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, whisking all the while to get the lumps out of the flour.
• The batter should be like thin cream when you are done.
• Now melt the butter in your frying pan.
• Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it to grease the pan, using a bit of paper towel to smear it round before you make each pancake.
• Heat up the pan over a high heat, then turn the heat down to medium.
• Spoon the batter into the pan, using just less than 1/4 cup for a 10" pan.
• You don't want them too big or they will be hard to flip.
• As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter.
• It will only take a few seconds to cook.
• When it is golden brown underneath, flip to the other side and cook for a few more seconds.
• Place on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you make the rest.
• To serve, sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in half, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up.
• Serve sprinkled with a little more sugar and lemon juice and extra sections of lemon.

PERFECT PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the middle.
• Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.
• Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.
• Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
• Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.
• Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.
• Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30 secs before turning out onto a warm plate.
• Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or make them up to a day ahead.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg and oil. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

ENGLISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the egg and egg yolks, followed by the milk and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Continue whisking until there are no lumps. In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter until it is golden brown, and whisk it into the pancake mix. Leave the batter to rest for about 15 minutes.
• Heat an 8-inch frying pan until hot, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the pan to spread the oil across the bottom. When the oil starts to smoke, pour the excess into a small bowl for later use. Return the pan to the heat. You now have a sheer coating of oil remaining on the pan.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pancake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until the underside of the pancake is golden brown, and then, using a spatula turn it over and cook the other side. Turn the pancake out onto an upturned dinner plate. Repeat until there is no more batter, using a bit of the reserved oil if the pan appears to be dry, or if the pancakes begin to stick. Continue to stack pancakes on top of each other on your dinner plate.
• When finished, served the pancakes straightaway with the sugar for sprinkling and the lemon and orange wedges on the side for squeezing on the pancakes.
• 5. If you want to make the pancakes in advance, lightly butter an ovenproof tray, and sprinkle each pancake with sugar after you finish cooking it. Fold the pancakes in half and then half again, arranging them all neatly on the tray. Cover the tray with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Serve with the lemon and orange wedges.

• When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go.

PANCAKES FOR ONE

Steps:

• Separate the egg, putting the white and yolk in seperate bowls. Mix the egg yolk with the flour, baking powder and milk to make a smooth paste.
• Beat the egg white and a pinch of salt with an electric whisk (or by hand) until fluffy and holding its shape. Gently fold the egg white into the yolk mixture. Be extra careful not to knock any of the air out.
• Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Dollop a third of the mixture into the pan and cook on each side for 1-2 mins or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make three pancakes. Drizzle over some maple syrup or honey and serve with berries, if you like.

ENGLISH PANCAKE BATTER

Steps:

• Melt a knob of butter in a pan, then leave to cool down.
• Meanwhile, place the flour in a bowl.
• Break the eggs into the bowl and pour in the milk.
• Mix until it turns into a smooth batter.
• Stir in the now cooled melted butter and leave to stand for about half an hour.
• This lets the starch expand and makes the finished pancake lighter.
• When you're ready to cook the pancakes, melt a little more of the butter along with a bit of oil in a frying pan.
• A non-stick pan is the best.
• When it is quite hot pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan.
• Swirl it until it covers the pan and you have a thin, even layer that should set almost immediately.
• After about a minute it should be ready to flip.
• Cook for 30 seconds on the other side and then tip onto a plate.
• Repeat until you have used up all the batter.
