Ingredients

  • 270 g of plain flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
  • 350 mls of milk
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil and more for frying

Instructions

  • Get a large bowl and add the flour, salt and caster sugar. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the egg, milk and oil.
  • Pour the milk and egg mixture into the flour and, using a whisk or fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Keep mixing until any lumps disappear. Let the batter stand for a few minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add some olive oil. When it's hot, add a ladle of batter. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen.
  • Repeat the process until the batter is used up. I keep the pancakes warm in some tin foil while I am making the other pancakes.
  • Serve with honey and blueberries, topped with yoghurt, or bananas and chocolate sauce.
