ENGLISH PANCAKES
English pancakes are different from American pancakes. They are much thinner and contain no leavening. They are closer to a French Crepe, only slightly thicker. Traditionally they are served on Shrove Tuesday, but are enjoyed year-around. They are best served straight from the pan. In my house the race is to try and make them faster than my children can eat them.

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the egg and egg yolks, followed by the milk and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Continue whisking until there are no lumps. In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter until it is golden brown, and whisk it into the pancake mix. Leave the batter to rest for about 15 minutes.
- Heat an 8-inch frying pan until hot, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the pan to spread the oil across the bottom. When the oil starts to smoke, pour the excess into a small bowl for later use. Return the pan to the heat. You now have a sheer coating of oil remaining on the pan.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pancake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until the underside of the pancake is golden brown, and then, using a spatula turn it over and cook the other side. Turn the pancake out onto an upturned dinner plate. Repeat until there is no more batter, using a bit of the reserved oil if the pan appears to be dry, or if the pancakes begin to stick. Continue to stack pancakes on top of each other on your dinner plate.
- When finished, served the pancakes straightaway with the sugar for sprinkling and the lemon and orange wedges on the side for squeezing on the pancakes.
- 5. If you want to make the pancakes in advance, lightly butter an ovenproof tray, and sprinkle each pancake with sugar after you finish cooking it. Fold the pancakes in half and then half again, arranging them all neatly on the tray. Cover the tray with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Serve with the lemon and orange wedges.

Steps:
- Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it, then whisk the eggs into the flour.
- Slowly add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, whisking all the while to get the lumps out of the flour.
- The batter should be like thin cream when you are done.
- Now melt the butter in your frying pan.
- Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it to grease the pan, using a bit of paper towel to smear it round before you make each pancake.
- Heat up the pan over a high heat, then turn the heat down to medium.
- Spoon the batter into the pan, using just less than 1/4 cup for a 10" pan.
- You don't want them too big or they will be hard to flip.
- As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter.
- It will only take a few seconds to cook.
- When it is golden brown underneath, flip to the other side and cook for a few more seconds.
- Place on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you make the rest.
- To serve, sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in half, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up.
- Serve sprinkled with a little more sugar and lemon juice and extra sections of lemon.
SUPER SIMPLE BRITISH PANCAKES
The pancakes in Britain are what we Americans would call a crepe. However this is British recipe and not a French one. I stuck with weight measurements rather than cups because it really matters, especially in regards to the flour. Some folks are light with the flour and others pack it in. This ensures it's the perfect amount...

Steps:
- 1. Place the flour in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Beat the two eggs in a small bowl. Once beaten add about 50ml of the milk and the 1 tbsp oil. Whisk this together well. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the egg and milk mixture. Start whisking. As the flour incorporates it will become very thick paste. Once all the flour is incorporated, start adding the rest of the milk a bit at a time whisking after each addition. Soon the mixture will be like a thick cream.
- 2. Some people prefer to let the batter sit for a good 30 minutes or so, but that isn't necessary. Heat a crepe or large shallow pan to medium heat. Non-stick is best. Wipe a bit of the extra oil around the bottom of the pan. add some of the batter to the pan and tilt the pan around to ensure an even thin coating around the entire bottom. You can add a little bit more if needed to cover the entire bottom. The bottom of the pancake (or crepe as it's called in America) will slightly tan or brown. Flip it over and continue to cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it tan/browns.
- 3. The first pancake is almost always thrown out, or eaten by the cook, because it is used to judge the heat of the pan and temperature adjustments can be made pending on how long it took to cook the pancake. If it took more than 2 minutes to lightly tan one side, the temperature needs to go up more. If it burnt quickly, lower the temperature a bit.
- 4. Continue to cook the rest of the pancakes and oil the pan after each one if needed. I find I don't need continually oil if using a non-stick pan.
- 5. Serve them with Nutella, my kids favorite, or with a simple syrup with lemon juice mixed in.
- 6. Egg note - I have made these successfully with an egg substitute. Because these pancakes are not meant to rise and remain thin, the egg substitute found in a box (I used Ener-G) worked well.

Steps:
- Tip the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk and egg. Whisk together, starting in the middle, to create a smooth batter. It should be the thickness of double cream.
- Heat a little of the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add a sixth of the batter to the pan, quickly swirling it so there are no holes. Fry on one side for 1-2 mins then flip over and cook for a further 1 min. Keep on a plate, covered, in a warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter to make six pancakes in total. Serve with sugar and lemon, if you like.
