Yummy

back to this - what's your batter recipe?

For me it's an unwavering 125g plain flour (sometimes plain / wholemeal mix for a savoury variant)
1 egg
300ml milk

but on the radio this am James Martin, who's apparently a 2/3* pastry chef quoted 2 eggs, 100ml milk and 2oz plain flour. Which has probably about the same liquid to flour mix but is a darn sight eggier.

back to this - what's your batter recipe?

I tend to consult the Book of Delia, Chapter the Puddings;

For the pancake mixture:
110g/4oz plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
2 eggs
200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
50g/2oz butter
To serve:
caster sugar
lemon juice
lemon wedges

Method

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets a airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then begin whisking the eggs - any sort of whisk or even a fork will do - incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so.

Next gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, still whisking (don't worry about any lumps as they will eventually disappear as you whisk). When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round before you make each pancake.

Feasted on thick fluffy pancakes with maple syrup, bacon and banana this morning, and a scattering of fresh blueberries.

A feast, I tell, ye...

Nearly pancake 'o' clock. I'm not training tonight with the club so I can cake out instead.
The level of pooftarism is outstanding, it's lemon and proper white sugar and your mum makes them. You sit there with an empty plate, knife and fork in hand waiting for the goods to slide onto your plate from a hot pan.

Eggier is better. Use one egg per two people. Add same volume of milk as you have volume of eggs and beat. Then introduce flour gradually until you can't get any more flour mixed in with a whisk - quite gluey. Add pinch salt and optional spice. Then double the volume by adding more milk. No weighing, just egg counting.

I don't bother with adding melted butter, that gets in there in the pan anyway. Resting batter also not essential.

Good lord I feel sick. 🙁

I made the Delia one. But looked at the first ingredient and thought hmm, 110g flour ain't much. Double up then 🙂 Feeling slightly sick now, and still enough batter left for a few more tomorrow 😀

Time for a post-pancake lie down...am stuffed!
