Ingredients

Method

  1. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the beaten egg, mixing to combine.
  2. Gradually beat in the milk until you have a smooth batter and chill for 1 hour. The batter will thicken on standing.
  3. Stir the batter and add a little water if necessary to bring it back to a pouring consistency.
  4. Heat a greased pancake pan or small frying pan and pour in just enough batter to cover the base of the pan. Cook until golden underneath.
  5. Release with a knife around the edge. Flip or turn and cook the other side. Stack the pancakes on a plate as you cook them.

Great basic recipe, have used since childhood. Recommend doubling the recipe (especially if you use a large pan or making for a few people or just want to eat more pancakes), and I personally like to add extra milk to make the flour to milk ratio equal, I prefer the thinner consistency. Can't go wrong with these.
