Instructions

Sift flour into a bowl and add sugar.
Add syrup and stir in with a knife.
Beat eggs and add milk and water.
Add to dry ingredients and mix to a batter. Use a whisk but do not overbeat. Instead, just stir until all lumps are removed and you have a smooth batter.
Pour batter into a jug with a pouring spout.
Grease and then heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan.
Pour mixture into pancakes of about 8cm in diameter.
Wait until bubbles form and then flip and cook on the other side for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm with maple syrup and ice cream (or something else equally delicious!)
