Pancakes Recipes

Ingredients :

the juice and grated peel of a lemon or 3 tbsp jam

50g caster sugar

125g flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg

300ml milk

butter or oil or a mixture of oil and butter

Method :

Mix the grated lemon peel with the caster sugar on a plate. Put the flour and salt through the sieve into a bowl. Make a hole in the centre of the flour. Break the egg into the hole. Add half the milk. Use a wooden spoon and slowly stir the flour into the egg and milk. Beat the mixture well with the wooden spoon, whisk or electric mixer. There must not be any lumps. When the mixture is smooth, leave it for a few minutes. Then add the rest of the milk and beat the mixture well again. Pancake batter must be like thin cream. Melt a little butter or oil in a frying pan over a very high heat.

Do not put in too much butter or oil. Put in enough to cover the bottom of the frying pan very thinly. The butter or oil must be very hot before you put in the batter. It must be smoking. Use a cup and pour in enough of the batter to cover the bottom of the frying pan very thinly. The bottom of the pancake should be golden brown after one minute. Turn the pancake with a palette knife or toss it into the air and catch is again in the frying pan if you are brave! The second side of the pancake should also be golden brown after 1 minutes. Take the pancake out of the frying pan and put it on a plate. Fold it in half and then fold it in half again. Keep the pancake warm while you cook the rest of the pancakes in the same way. Put a little lemon juice and a little caster sugar and grated lemon peel on the top of each pancake before you serve them. Or you can serve them with jam.

Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day in Britain. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. The best pancakes are very thin and light. If you make them too thick, they will not cook properly and will be very heavy.
