Ingredients
Scale
Basic Batter
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300ml milk
- 30g unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth, thin batter. Stir in the melted butter to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour a small ladle of batter into the hot pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 1 minute until the other side is also golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked pancakes on a plate. Serve warm with your desired toppings or fillings such as lemon and sugar, jam, or honey.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is thin for classic English pancakes; add a little more milk if the batter is too thick.
- Use a non-stick pan to avoid sticking and for easy flipping.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm by covering them loosely with foil while you finish cooking the rest.
- These pancakes are thinner than American pancakes and resemble French crêpes.
