As previously discussed I'm a pancake maverick. I wing it. And always end up with an edible result. But sometimes I have to concede to the weights and measures side of cooking.
Ok, I didn't stick exactly to the recipe but I only changed it slightly.
2 eggs
200ml milk (add this gradually, you may not need it all)
A melted knob (hehe) of butter
A little caster sugar (in place of Delia's salt)
Whisk all ingredients, except the butter, together until smooth. Melt the butter in the frying pan you intend to use, pour into the batter and whisk again.
Heat a non-stick frying pan and ladle in enough batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. Pick up the pan and gently tilt & swirl the batter around the edges until there is no runny batter left. Leave for a minute or so and flip in whichever way you choose.
1. Don't listen to Delia when she says "I admit it can be a hazardous affair if you don't know the ropes". This is rubbish and why, Delia, cooking scares people.
2. Use a non-stick frying pan. This makes for easy flipping and you won't need to use any extra butter for frying unless you want to.
3. Use a small frying pan. 20cm in my case. Easier to flip and more pancakes to play with.
4. Eat more pancakes.
Final Shrove Tuesday Fact- I was born on Pancake Day. Resulting in a lifelong affinity with said food. Yes. Good excuse.
