Pancakes with lemon and sugar
This is a basic English pancake recipe that is so easy to make. Sprinkle lots of sugar on top and squeeze lemon juice - just perfect for Shrove Tuesday or any time you fancy
Ingredients
- 100g g plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp caster sugar more for serving
- 300 ml milk
- 1-2 knobs of butter for frying
- Lemon juice for serving
Instructions
- Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
- Using another bowl, add the eggs, sugar and milk and whisk together until combined.
- Then slowly pour into the well of the flour. Using a whisk, mix together until you have a smooth batter - this can take a few minutes as you continue to slowly add the liquid.
- To make the pancakes, heat a non stick pan on medium with around a teaspoon of butter until it's melted. Add the batter to the hot pan, I use a good tablespoon, and then swirl the batter around the pan so it covers all of it.
- Cook each pancake for around 1-2 minutes then flip over to cook the other side for around another minute.
- Lay some foil or baking paper in between each pancake and cover with a tea towel to keep warm, as you're making the whole batch. You should get around 10.
- When you're ready to serve, you can fold the pancakes in half, then half again, sprinkle with caster sugar and squeeze the juice of half a lemon [or more] over the top.
