ingredients

  • 1 C all purpose flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/1/2 C milk
  • 10 tsp butter or oil
  • superfine sugar

directions

  • 1

    Sift the flour and salt into the bowl. Make a “well” in the center; add the egg and half the milk. Beat the egg and milk together.

  • 2

    Gradually mix in the flour. When the mixture is smooth with no lumps, beat in the rest of the milk.

  • 3

    Heat the pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of the butter and swirl it around to cover the whole surface.

  • 4

    Pour in enough batter to cover the base. Swirl around the pan while tilting it so you have a thin, even layer. Cook for about 30 seconds.

  • 5

    Lift up the edge of the pancake to see if it is brown. Loosen round the edges and flip with the spatula. Cook the other side until golden brown.

  • 6

    Turn out each pancake onto a warm plate. Stack ion layers with baking parchment. Cover with foil and keep warm.

  • 7

    Sprinkle with superfine sugar and fold into fourths.
