Make a batch of pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, or a lazy weekend brunch. This one-cup recipe means you can make pancakes without weighing scales
Prep:5 mins
Serves 6
1 cup plain flour1½ cups milk1 large egg or 2 medium eggs20g butter2 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oilcaster sugar and lemon wedges, to serve (optional)
STEP 1Tip the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk and egg. Whisk together, starting in the middle, to create a smooth batter. It should be the thickness of double cream.STEP 2Heat a little of the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add a sixth of the batter to the pan, quickly swirling it so there are no holes. Fry on one side for 1-2 mins then flip over and cook for a further 1 min. Keep on a plate, covered, in a warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter to make six pancakes in total. Serve with sugar and lemon, if you like.
