Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg plus 1 yolk
  • 300 ml milk
  • 125 g plain flour
  • rapeseed oil
  • 2 lemons
  • caster sugar

Instructions

  • Whisk the egg and yolk together with half the milk.
  • Sift the flour into an ANTA salad bowl and make a well in the middle.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk and egg mixture making a smooth batter.
  • Once smooth add the remaining egg and pour into an ANTA jug.
  • Set aside for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a flat bottomed frying pan, pour in a little rapeseed oil and gently swirl around the pan and sides and pour off any excess into a small ANTA bowl.
  • The pan should be really hot.
  • Pour a couple of tablespoons of batter into the tan tilting so the batter spreads evenly over the bottom.
  • Cook for about a minute until the edges start to curl and brown.
  • Using a palette knife carefully loosen the pancake and either toss or turn the pancake over and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • The first pancake usually does not work – do not worry, it helps you gauge if the pan is hot enough and the batter the correct consistency.
  • You may need to wipe the pan with kitchen paper and add more oil as you make further pancakes.
  • Either serve straight away or keep the pancakes warm on an ANTA dinner plate, cover with foil or a second plate.
