Pancakes

Hi everyone. I love pancakes and make them every Sunday and thoroughly enjoy eating them. I thought I would tell you how to make both the small and big ones.

Big pancakes:

• This recipe is by Delia Smith.
• It takes approximately 30mins to prepare and 3 mins to cook one pancake.
• It makes about 8-12 pancakes

• 2 eggs
• 200ml milk mixed in a jug with 75ml of water
• 50g butter

Method:

1. Put the flour and crack the eggs in a large mixing bowl
2. Use either an electric or hand whisk to whisk it all together gradually adding the milk and water mix
3. Once all the liquid mixture is mixed in,use a spoon to go around the bowl and check there are no lumps of flour. If there are, carry on whisking.
4. Once all the lumps are gone and the mixture is a consistency of single cream, heat a pan and melt the butter using a spatula to mix it all over the pan.
5. Then pour the butter into the mixture and whisk tha. In. Your pancakes are ready to cook.
6. To cook your pancakes, use a ladle to measure the quantity of one pancake. You want just under one ladle.
7. Pour the ladle into the pan and circle the pan around so that the mixture is covering all of the pan.
8. After about 2mins or until you can move the pancake by shaking the pan flip the pancake over either in the traditional way or using a spatula
