Pancakes

Ingredients for 6 pancakes

4oz plain flour, 1 egg, 1/2 pint milk, Pinch of salt
or
100g plain flour, 2 eggs, 300ml milk, Pinch of salt & 1tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil

use oil or lard for frying, not butter

Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the middle and crack in the egg(s)

(I usually break them into a mug individually so that if I get shell in I can retrieve it more easily)

Beat the egg into the flour, gradually adding in the milk to make a smooth batter.

Cook in a medium hot frying pan, regularly greasing with a little oil and a square of kitchen roll.

Enjoy with sugar, lemon, syrup, honey, marmite, peanut butter, fried egg...

...any more suggestions?
