Ingredients

3 large free-range eggs

125g plain flour

250ml milk

unsalted butter

Top Tip

I sometimes mix it up and swap 75g of plain flour for wholemeal to give my pancakes lovely texture and flavour.

Method

  1. Crack the eggs into a blender, then add the flour, milk and 1 pinch of sea salt, and blitz until smooth.
  2. Pour into a bowl and leave to stand for 15 minutes.
  3. Melt the butter (or a drizzle of oil if you want to be a bit healthier) in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, then tilt the pan so the butter coats the surface.
  4. Pour in 1 ladle of batter and tilt again, so that the batter spreads all over the base, then cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it starts to come away from the sides.
  5. Once golden underneath, flip the pancake over and cook for 1 further minute, or until cooked through.
  6. Serve straightaway with your favourite topping.

To make more American-style pancakes, swap the plain flour for self-raising, dolloping ladlefuls of batter into the pan without spreading it around the base.
