Recipe by Bill
INGREDIENTS
- 200 ml milk
- 1 whole egg
- 100 g plain flour
- Pinch of table salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk milk and egg together, then sift the flour in, add pinch of salt and whisk again until you end up with smooth and runny batter. This mixture is enough for 6 pancakes.
Take a non stick pan, 23 cm in diameter (9 inches). Heat the pan up, add a touch of oil, then pour one ladle of batter into the pan. Move the pan around a little to spread the batter all over the cooking surface. Check the pancake underneath, when it has developed lightly brown patches and spots, flip it over to cook the other side, again until lightly brown patches and spots are formed. When ready, slide it off of the pan onto a plate.
Now return the pan to the stove, heat it up again, add oil and repeat the cooking process with remaining pancake batter. You can stack the pancakes on top of each other, they don’t have to be kept aside on separate plates.
So now that you have the pancakes cooked, it’s time to get creative and whip up some fillings! Let us know what your favourite pancake is in the comments below 🙂

- You can fill the pancakes with anything you’d like, it can be Mediterranean vegetables, meat filling, or even sprinkle with your favourite cheese and bake in the oven – the choice is yours 🙂
- It is important to heat up the pan each time before pouring the batter, otherwise the pancakes will not cook correctly.
