Ingredients:
100g plain flour
2 eggs
300ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable, plus extra for frying
pinch salt
Method
Put the flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre.
Crack the eggs into the middle, then pour in about 50ml milk and 1 tbsp oil.
Start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil.
Once all the flour is mixed in, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste.
Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.
Then add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter.
While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk.
Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.
Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer.
If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.
To flip, hold the pan handle, ease a fish slice under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over.
