✷ 125g plain flour
✷ 1 egg
✷ 300ml semi-skimmed milk
✷ vegetable oil, for frying

1 Place the flour and a pinch of salt in a mixing
bowl and add the egg. Beat well, gradually
adding the milk until the mixture is smooth,
thick and creamy. Rest the batter in the
fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
2 Heat a small non-stick frying pan until it's
really hot, then turn the heat down to
medium. Drizzle in a tiny amount of oil then
add a ladleful of the pancake mixture,
swirling the pan to coat the surface with a
thin, even layer. Allow to cook for 1-2
minutes until brown.
3 Toss the pancake or use a palette knife to flip
it over. Cook until the other side has browned
lightly. Stack on a plate, cover with clingfilm
and a clean tea towel to keep warm or serve
immediately.
