Psy Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 It's Pancake Day! W00t! I'm supposed to be an adult, but that doesn't stop me making enough batter to feed a family and eating the lot until I fall over, be sick, or fall over and be sick. :) Can't go wrong with Delia's recipe here: --------------------------- Ingredients For the pancake mixture: 110g/4oz plain flour, siftedpinch of salt2 eggs200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water50g/2oz butterTo serve:caster sugarlemon juice lemon wedges Method Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets a airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then begin whisking the eggs - any sort of whisk or even a fork will do - incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so. Next gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, still whisking (don't worry about any lumps as they will eventually disappear as you whisk). When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl anduse it to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round before you make each pancake. --------------------------- I'm a big fan of great dollops of nutella & lemon juice, or for a savoury one, chunky peanut butter! The GF prefers whipped cream and strawberries... So... What contents do you guys prefer to put in your pancakes? Psy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
