Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 300 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for frying)
- 1 to serve Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Caster sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into the well.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously, starting from the center and drawing in the dry ingredients. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth.
Stir in the melted butter to the batter and mix until combined.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to lightly grease the surface.
Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter into the pan and swirl it around to create a thin, even pancake.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form and the edges begin to lift. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter to the pan if needed.
Serve the pancakes immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of caster sugar.
