Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (150 g) plain or all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups (500 ml) milk
- pinch of salt
- oil or butter for frying
- toppings (e.g. maple syrup, sugar, chocolate spread)
Method
Ask an adult for help when cooking your pancakes.
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
- Crack the eggs into the mixed flour and salt.
- Beat with a spoon or a whisk until combined.
- Pour in the milk a little at a time and keep beating, until you get a nice smooth batter without any lumps.
- Melt the butter or oil in a hot frying pan and pour in a thin layer of batter.
- When the top of the pancake is firm enough, gently flip it over (don’t let it run away!)to cook the other side.
- Once both sides are brown, carefully slide your pancake onto a plate and add your topping.
