Method

1. Place the flour in a large bowl and make a hole in the centre for your egg. Whisk the egg into the flour and then gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth batter.

2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan (or pancake pan). Pour in half a ladle of the batter, spread to thinly coat the base on the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes. Flip over and cook for 2 minutes. Repeat to make 8 pancakes.
