Ingredients
Switch to Cup Measures 225 gram(s) Plain flour

2 large egg(s) (beaten)

300 ml milk

HOW TO BE A DOMESTIC GODDESS
Method
The easiest way to make these is to put all the ingredients into a blender and blitz. But if you do
mix up the batter by hand in a bowl, make a well in the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, beat
in the eggs, melted butter and milk, and transfer to a jug: it's much easier to pour the batter into
the pan than to spoon it.
Heat a smooth griddle or pan on the stove.
When you cook the pancakes, all you need to remember is that when the upper side of the
pancake is blistering and bubbling it's time to cook the second side, and this needs only about 1
minute, if that.
I get about 16 silver-dollar-sized pancakes out of this.

rind of a lime (omit the cinnamon); 100g/4oz blueberries and a small chopped ripe pear, or
replace the fresh fruit with 100g/4oz ready-to eat dried fruit such as chopped apricot and sour
cherries or cranberries. Replace the yogurt with a good scoop of vanilla ice-cream
