Pancakes Galore

So. Pancake day is upon us! If you haven't made any pancakes yet or, heaven forbid, you don't know how to make them, here is a very simple recipe for you to follow.

Put in a mixing bowl: 100g plain flour, pinch of salt and 1 egg.
Measure out 300ml of milk and add gradually to the mixing bowl, while stirring with a balloon whisk.
The liquid should be fairly runny. After most of the lumps have gone, whisk like crazy for about 3mins (hurts your arm but it makes the mixture a bit more frothy). Leave to sit.

While the mixture is sitting, melt some butter in a non-stick pan (don't let it burn!), and ad a small amount of mixture to the centre of the pan. Swirl the pan so the mixture sperads evenly. Cook until brown underneath. Then, either using a spatula or not, toss the pancake and allow it to brown on the other side.

Serve either rolled with a blob of nutella or golden syrup inside or folded drenched in lemon juice and sugar.

(once again) YUM.
