The perfect pancakes?

doctor evil

Any good recipes or tips in preparation for tomorrow.

I'm tempted to try those ready made ones where you add milk, any experience of them?. I tried those for scones once when lazy and bored and found them to be disappointing.

Pancakes are simple to make from scratch so don't bother with that ready mix crap.

I use approx. 150g flour, 200 ml of low fat milk and 2 eggs. I like mine fairly thin so that's why I use low fat milk, but if you like yours heavier you could use a mixture of milk and cream or even melted buter. Sieve the flour into a bowl, make a well and add the eggs and a little milk, Whisk as you add the milk and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth. If you have time, it's better to leave the batter stand for a few hours in the fridge but it's ok to use it straight away.

I should have said make sure the pan is hot enough before you add the batter you only need a tiny amount of oil to cook them. I pour some oil onto the pan and then wipe with kitchen towel so it is thinly and evenly spread.

The receipe I use is:

1 cup plain flour
1 cup milk
1 egg

Whisk and leave for half an hour.

Small bit of oil in a good pan (important - stops them sticking)
Have pan very hot.
1st pancake is always rubbish for some reason!
