so i want to share the recipe of pancakes,

Learn how to make pancakes with these foolproof step-by-step directions and photos, and you will never be defeated by a pancake again! Served with sugar and lemon, these pancakes are a favourite on Pancake Day or anytime.
Ingredients
We used a basic pancake recipe that serves 4 to 6, which can easily be halved:
  • 250g plain flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 500ml milk

You'll also need butter for frying, and caster sugar and fresh lemons to serve (if desired).



417cf5e4-4d28-4cd5-8ad7-5d067b7ea811.jpg

With a sieve, sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
06b7ab48-ee63-4410-bb1c-ef48d1dd0ba3.jpg

Break the eggs into a bowl and then add to the flour mixture.
072c4788-176c-458c-af22-59ca07fe17db.jpg

Pour in half of the milk and whisk briskly.

Add the remaining milk and whisk until the batter is smooth.
578c658e-eddc-498b-8154-fae9db3ffb7b.jpg

Heat a 20cm (8 in) non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small knob of butter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
When is it hot enough?
Don't wait until the pan is smoking hot! The butter will burn. Rather, flick a drop of water into the pan; if it sizzles, you are ready to add the pancake batter.

Using a ladle, pour the pancake batter into the pan, then tilt the pan to spread the mixture out evenly. Aim for approximately 3 tablespoons of batter.

As your pancake sets, you will see small bubbles forming on its surface. Once you notice bubbles, shake the pan to see if the pancake is loose. Once the pancake is loose, and the edges have cooked a bit, you can be sure it is time to flip. This should only take about a minute at the most.
Pan getting too hot?
Depending your pan, as well as your hob, you may notice that you start out well with your first pancake on medium-high heat, but that the pan quickly gets too hot. If you notice a lot of sizzling or smoking, it's time to turn down the heat to medium! Often starting at medium-high and turning to medium after you flip your first pancake works well.

Flip the pancake over with a palette knife or spatula.
86fa931b-0e82-4fe5-9452-05c265df8e9d.jpg

Let the pancake cook on the other side for about 30 seconds; it should cook no more than half as long on this side as it took to cook the first side.

Check to see that the last side is a nice golden brown, then slide your pancake onto a plate and top with caster sugar and a squeeze of lemon. Add more butter to your pan and cook the remaining pancakes as stated above from step five onwards.
