What you’ll need
- 100g plain flour
- 2 large eggs
- 300 ml milk
- 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
- Lemon, Caster Sugar, Honey, Fruit or Chocolate Spread to serve.

1. Put the flour, eggs and milk into a bowl and whisk in to a smooth batter.

2. Put a medium sized frying pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe with oiled kitchen paper. 

3. Once the pan is really hot, cook the pancakes for one minute on both sides until they appear golden. Don’t forget to throw in an overly-elaborate pancake flip for good measure!

4. Best served in large quantities, with the classic lemon and sugar combo (our favourite) or your filling of choice!

Enjoy!
