One Shrove Tuesday, my flat and guests got through 139 of these. For my ideal pancake I squeeze some fresh lemon on a plate, place the pancake on, put a half an inch stripe of Nutella across the diameter, and roll up. Perfect.



Makes over 10

110g	(4 oz)	Plain Flour
Pinch		Salt
2		Large Eggs
200ml	(7 floz)	Milk mixed with
75ml	(3 floz)	water
		Butter/Lard for frying

1. Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
   
2. Make a well in the centre and break an egg into it. Add a bit of milk/water and whisk in. Repeat with other egg.
   
3. Add small quantities of milk/water, incorperating all the flour from the edges.
   
4. Ignore any lumps and keep steadily adding milk/water until you have a smooth batter, the consistency of thin cream.
   
5. Fry in butter, so don't have the temp too hot, or use too large a pan for your heat source.
