Ingredients:
250g flour
4 eggs
1/2 litre milk
1 pinch salt
50g butter
Recipe:
Ideally, you should make the batter a few hours before you need it, to give the mixture time to rest.
Sieve flour into bowl, add other dry ingreients, mix, then make a well in the middle. Add eggs, then milk little by little and whisk until you have a smooth mixture.
Gently melt butter and add to the mixture.
Leave to rest.
When you are ready to make your pancakes, make sure you have your frying pan very hot. Melt a knob of butter, then add half a ladle of batter, spread over surface of pan and fry for about three minutes, turning half way.
Advice:
Your first pancake will be a test of the batter: if it comes out a little dry, add a little butter or milk to the mixture and try again. If it is too greasy or moist, sieve in more flour, then whisk briefly to get rid of any lumps.
