Method

  1. Step 1:

    Mix the flour, salt, eggs and milk to form a batter. Ideally leave to stand for 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2:

    Grease an 18cm/7 inch pan with butter lightly. Spoon 2 tablespoon of batter in a heated pan for each pancake and swirl the pan so that the batter covers the pan. Cook for 1 minute each side.

  3. Step 3:

    Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.

  4. Step 4:

    Serve warm sprinkled with your choice of butter, sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
