Preparation

Step 1

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a hole in the centre. Break the eggs into the hole and add 75ml of the milk and the oil. Whisk the eggs, milk and oil using a wire whisk. Gradually draw in the flour, whisking all the time until you have a thick, smooth batter.

Step 2

Gradually add the rest of the milk, whisking gently, until you have a smooth batter.

Step 3

Crumple up a piece of kitchen paper and soak the end in oil. Use this to grease a small nonstick frying pan. Heat the pan, then pour in just enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan, swirling it around to completely cover it.

Step 4

Cook for about 30 seconds. Flip the pancake using a fish slice and cook the other side until golden. Slide onto a plate.

Step 5

Repeat until all of the batter is used up, greasing the pan a little when needed.

Step 6

Serve immediately with lemon juice and caster sugar
