- Yields:
-
8 large pancakes
ingredients
directions
- Melt a knob of butter in a pan, then leave to cool down.
- Meanwhile, place the flour in a bowl.
- Break the eggs into the bowl and pour in the milk.
- Mix until it turns into a smooth batter.
- Stir in the now cooled melted butter and leave to stand for about half an hour.
- This lets the starch expand and makes the finished pancake lighter.
- When you're ready to cook the pancakes, melt a little more of the butter along with a bit of oil in a frying pan.
- A non-stick pan is the best.
- When it is quite hot pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan.
- Swirl it until it covers the pan and you have a thin, even layer that should set almost immediately.
- After about a minute it should be ready to flip.
- Cook for 30 seconds on the other side and then tip onto a plate.
- Repeat until you have used up all the batter.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
