Easy scotch pancakes

Method

• step 1

  Add the flour and sugar to the bowl (for best results, use sieve).

• step 2

  Add the eggs to the flour/sugar mix and whisk. You will now have a floury, dry, lumpy mixture.

• step 3

  Smooth this mixture out by gradually adding and whisking in splashes of milk. The aim is to have a relatively thick, smooth batter, about the same consistency as thick double cream, so you will not need a lot of milk.

• step 4

  Oil the pan using a brush. Don't just pour oil into the pan.

• step 5

  As a rule of thumb the pancake is ready to be turned when bubbles start to form on the surface. Turn and cook until the surface is golden brown (in total about 2 minutes). Remove from pan and re-grease if necessary.

• step 6

  TIP - Don't make them too big. The bigger the are the harder it is to cook evenly. Keep them hot in the oven at about 110c while you cook in batches.
