Traditional English Pancake Recipe

For me there is just something nostalgic about English style pancakes, sprinkled with sugar and a squeeze of lemon, rolled up and devoured. So simple yet so delicious.

So i know pancake day was last week but who’s not to say you can’t still celebrate this week with more pancakes, here’s my simple, fail proof easy to follow recipe:

Ingredients –

125g all purpose / plain flour
2 eggs
300ml milk
½ teaspoon of salt

Method:

Step 1.
Combine flour and salt together in a bowl and make a well

Step 2.
Pour the eggs into the well and whisk until combined

Step 3.
Slowly add the milk

Step 4.
Let the batter rest for a minimum of 20 minutes

Step 5.
Ladle the batter onto a medium to hot fry pan and cook on either side for a few minutes until golden

Step 6.
Serve with lemon and sugar

Hi everyone welcome back to my channel today I’m gonna be showing you how to make some traditional English pancakes now the first thing you’re gonna need is 125 grams of plain or all-purpose flour 2 eggs beaten in a bowl and 300 milliliters of whole milk you could also

Use plant-based milk if you like and then a half a teaspoon of salt now the first step is to just mix the salts in with the flour so there as you can see I just put that salt in just give it a quick mix around and then dump it into a

Bowl really easy simple four-step give it a bit of a whisk if you want and then what you want to do is make a well in the middle of this flour and it’s that well we’re just gonna break in the eggs and then it’s simple case of mixing mix

All this together until it forms a kind of sticky dough and you can’t really mix it anymore with the whisk and at that point we’re gonna start to add the milk you want to add the milk in little by little until each parts combined and this is just a method that I’ve always

Used and it seems to work for me so as you can see I think I added maybe three or four rounds of milk mix milk mix milk mix and then you want quite a thin batter for these for these pancakes after you’ve done this step we’re just

Gonna transfer this batter into the joke that we had the milk in and then all I’m gonna do with this is just let this rest then the best place to my rest is in the fridge for about 20 minutes at least the more time in the fridge the better then

After 20 minutes I want to get a hot pan and I’m just using some nonstick spray you could also use oil if you like and just one ladle one layer at a time you want quite thin in pancakes because that’s traditionally what the English pancakes are and as you can see you just

Want to kind of let that cook on a medium to high heat and when you can start to see the bubbles forming up on the top you know it’s ready to flip over so it doesn’t take too long because these are thin it won’t take very long

To cook at all so maybe like two to three minutes on each side and you can always flip it back again if you think you need a bit more color but generally speaking that’s that’s the color that you’re gonna get nice golden e bits and

Bits are a bit paler and as you can see here I’m just doing a few more so in again with the ladle of batter and you just want to let that rest for a few minutes just to let it cook through and then flip it across this batter I think

Made about seven or eight pancakes as you can see these ones were quite small but you could make bigger ones if you liked and I generally like to serve these with lemon and sugar but by all means add whatever you want to the top I hope you enjoyed it that was my

Traditional English pancake recipe and I’ll see you next time thanks for watching and if you make these do let me know in the comments I always love reading them thanks guys bye
