Instructions

  1. Place milk, eggs and butter in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add in the flour sifted through a sieve and whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  2. Let the batter rest in the fridge for 15-30 minutes if possible, or start cooking straight away.
  3. Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and gently brush it with a little melted butter.
  4. When the pan is hot, pour a ladle of batter over the bottom of the pan and cook your pancake for 1 minute or until golden. Flip the pancake carefully using a silicone spatula, then cook a further 1 minute on the other side. Gently transfer the prepared pancake onto a warm plate and repeat the process until you have finished up the batter.
  5. Serve with lemon wedges and caster sugar on the side, or your favourite filling.

Notes

  • British pancakes are best enjoyed straight away, but you can make up the batter the night before so they are ready to cook in the morning.
  • Leftover pancakes will keep well for a day or two.
  • Place them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap, or store them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator until needed.
  • You can then reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
