Perfect Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup (200ml) of plain flour
1 cup (200ml) of milk
4 eggs
- Whisk or blend in a blender all the ingredients and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Pour a small amount of vegetable oil (about 1 dessert spoon) on a non-stick pan and heat on a medium heat.
- Using a ladle or pouring directly from the blender cover the bottom of the pan with the batter.
- Flip the pancake once the top becomes matte and small bubbles start to appear.
- Repeat the process until the batter is finished, adding only a drop of oil whenever necessary.
- Fill with your favourite fillings.
Chef’s Tips:
- The first pancake always sticks, so discard the first one.
- This batter has no salt or sugar and the pancakes taste great with both sweet and savoury fillings.
- You can use a spatula or a palate knife to flip the pancakes, but it is not hard to flip them. Try it!
