Ingredients

 

 

 

 

 

Method

 

1 sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl

2.make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it and whisk the eggs into the flour

3. gradually whisk in small quantities of the milk and water mixture When all the liquid has been added,  whisk until the batter is smooth.

4. melt the butter in the pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it when needed to grease the pan, using  kitchen paper to smear it round.

5. get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and, put  2 tablespoons about right for a 7 inch (18 cm) pan and 3 tablespoons for an 8 inch (20 cm) pan.

6.  As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. It should take only half a minute or so to cook

7. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife – the other side will need a few seconds only – then slide it out of the pan on to a plate.
