Yum : Pancakes

We had pancakes for brunch at Cath’s on Sunday morning. I’m not sure what her secret recipe is, but here is the one that I use:

Place the egg, milk and salt in a bowl and whisk lightly
Whisk in flour, a little at a time, until the pancake batter has the consistency of thin custard
Allow to rest for 30 minutes
Strain the batter if there are any lumps
Heat a heavy based pan over medium heat
When hot, brush the base of the pan with melted butter, then pour in just enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly
Allow to cook until golden, then turn over the other side
Repeat until the mixture is used up, adding more melted butter as needed
Serve with lemon and caster sugar, or bananas and maple syrup.
