With the kids or on your own we can celebrate food over this strange time of lockdown. You can make pancakes for breakfast, especially at this special time of Easter!
2oz plain flour, 2 eggs and a little milk makes 6-7 small pancakes. Double that for more, halve it if you are on your own (give left overs to the birds) 🙂
I use gram flour as I can’t eat wheat but use any plain flour!
mix it up together with a fork squashing any big lumps, little lumps don’t matter.
Turn on the pan on a high heat and add a tiny bit of oil (we are cooking them not frying them) and spread it out over the pan. You might have to add a little more during cooking all the pancakes but remember a teeny tiny bit!
put a large spoon of mixture into the pan.
Your pancake needs turning over with a spatula as soon as little craters start to appear like the ones I’ve ringed around.
Only leave it like this for a few seconds and then put on a warm plate and make the next one.
Note: When the pan looks like it’s smoking, don’t panic, just turn the pan down a little but not a lot, you need it hot.
Then you can put them on the table with all your chosen toppings 🙂 You can use savoury toppings if you prefer.
Note: in your enthusiasm, don’t forget to move the pan safely of the heat.
For the more fussy among us, just jam is ok 🙂
Happy eating!
