One-cup pancakes

• plain flour↗1 cup cup
• milk↗1½ cups cups
• egg↗1 large

  or 2 medium eggs

• butter↗20g g
• vegetable or sunflower oil2 tbsp tbsp
• caster sugar↗

  and lemon wedges, to serve (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Tip the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk and egg. Whisk together, starting in the middle, to create a smooth batter. It should be the thickness of double cream.

2. 2

   Heat a little of the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add a sixth of the batter to the pan, quickly swirling it so there are no holes. Fry on one side for 1-2 mins then flip over and cook for a further 1 min. Keep on a plate, covered, in a warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter to make six pancakes in total. Serve with sugar and lemon, if you like.
