Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 ounces flour
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 -2 tablespoon cold water
Directions
- Sieve the flour into a mound in a mixing bowl, making a well in the centre.
- Break the egg into it and the extra yolk, add a pinch of salt and mix with a wire whisk.
- Add the milk and 1 tablespoon of cold water to form a very fluid paste.
- Melt the butter and when liquid mix into the paste.
- Leave the mixture in a cool place for a least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
- Stir the batter well before use, and if it has thickened while standing, add a further 2- 3 tablespoons of cold water.
- The pancakes must be very thin, therefore the batter must be almost as liquid as water.
- Heat a small frying pan over a medium temperature, wipe it round with buttered paper and pour a large tablespoon of batter into it, rotating the pan so that the mixture runs evenly over the bottom.
- Cook for 1 minute shaking the pan to loosen the pancake, turn it over and cook the other side 1 minute, Keep hot between two plates placed over a pan of simmering water whilst cooking the rest of the batter.
