Easiest Ever Pancakes
This straightforward recipe uses a classic French batter formula of equal volumes of eggs, milk and plain flour to create thick, satisfying pancakes. The batter comes together quickly and cooks in a matter of moments, resulting in a stack of golden pancakes ideal for your preferred sweet or savoury toppings. It's a versatile dish suitable for brunch, dessert or a simple snack.
Ingredients
- 140g plain flour (this is about 200ml/7fl oz)
- 4 eggs (200ml/7fl oz)
- 200ml milk
- 50g butter melted
- sunflower oil for cooking
Method
- For the batter, add the flour to a bowl and incorporate the eggs, mixing until you have a smooth consistency. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mix, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Whisk the melted butter into the batter. Heat a pancake pan and lightly grease it with oiled kitchen paper. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the base evenly and tipping out any extra mixture. Cook for about 30 secs until golden, then turn and cook the other side. Stack the cooked pancakes and serve with your chosen filling.
