Okay, how do I make pancakes?

I mean both the batter and cooking techniques.

I'm not a good cook. I've got better over the last year or so, but I still hate it.

Usually DH makes the batter, but he's away today. I can usually manage to actually cook them, but think it's a fluke rather than talent.

Please, throw your batter and cooking instructions my way, before my children realise I'm useless!

Here's my standard recipe....

2 large eggs
4 heaped tablespoons plain flour (about 4oz)
about 1/2 pint milk
knob of melted butter
salt

Whisk all of the above together or whizz in a goblet blender until you have a smooth batter. Let it sit for a minute or two so that any big bubbles go away.

Heat a non-stick pan and add a small knob of butter. The butter should sizzle but not smoke. Tilt the pan so that the butter covers a good area.

Pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan, again tilting as you pour. Allow to set, shake loose, flip and cook the other side.

I do mine exactly the same Cogito

Thank you

Well, thanks to DH's "system" I ended up using self raising flour for the first set. They were arguably better than my second set - which have made me feel confident about my ability to make tortilla wraps
