Easy Recipe

Makes 6

Ingredients:

140g sieved plain flour;

1tsp sieved baking powder;

1 tsp salt;

2tbsp caster sugar;

110ml semi-skimmed or full fat milk;

1 large egg;

30g melted, unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking.

Recipe:

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, along with the caster sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg together. Then whisk in the melted butter and let the batter stand for 5 minutes.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once the butter has melted, take a ladle of batter and pour in a small circular motion onto your pan. Cook the pancakes on one side for 3 minutes or until the start to turn brown underneath and flip over to cook on the other side. Cook until both sides of the pancake are golden-brown.

Repeat until all the batter is used.

Best served warm!
