Step by step

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix the eggs, milk, sugar, oil and salt using a whisk or an electric mixer.
  2. Whilst stirring, gradually add the flour, a spoonful at a time, until all the ingredients are mixed into a smooth batter.
  3. It should be runny, but not watery.
  4. Finally, stir some mineral water into the batter.
  5. Leave to rest for30minutes before cooking.
  6. If the batter is too runny, add a little more flour; if it is too thick, add a little milk.
  7. If you don’t have mineral water, you can add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the batter, which will ensure the pancakes are very light and soft.
