Ingredients
100g/4oz plain flour
Pinch of salt
1 free range egg
250ml milk (for dairy-free, your favourite dairy-free milk will work well too)
1 tsp Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil per pancake
(makes 8 depending on the size of pan)
Method
Place the flour into a mixing bowl.
Crack an egg into the flour mixture and add a pinch of salt.
Next, add a little of the milk and start to mix together the ingredients into a thick smooth paste. Gradually add the milk a little at a time, mixing well to create a smooth batter.
Heat the pan on a medium heat then add the Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil. When the oil is hot pour some batter into the centre of the pan and gently swirl to the edges to create an even, thin pancake. Cook the pancake on one side for around a minute. Flip over and cook for a further minute, or until golden brown.
