Pancakes
RL: It says this makes three pancakes, but seriously will that be enough if you have a couple of people or more? I’m sure when we were kids, we ate 5, maybe 6 at a setting. Poor Mum.
Ingredients
4 ounces (115g) of flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 to 1¼ cups of milk
Buter for cooking
Method
Sift flour, baking powder and salt, and add the sugar.
Drop the unbeaten egg into a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
Add a little milk and stir until a smooth batter is formed.
Add the balance of the milk, mix well, and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
Melt a little butter in a frying pan, allow to brown, and wipe the pan with some kitchen paper.
Melt I dessertspoon of butter in the pan and poor in sufficient batter to barely cover the base of the pan.
Cook at moderate heat, loosening the edges with a knife.
Turn over.
When cooked, sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar and rollup ready to serve.
