• 125 gram(s) plain flour
• 1 medium egg
• 300 ml (½pint) milk
• 25 gram(s) butter, melted

Method

1. Sift the flour with a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, add the egg and, while whisking, gradually pour in the milk to make a thin, smooth batter. Transfer to a jug, cover and rest for 30min.
2. Brush a non-stick frying pan with a little melted butter and heat, then pour in a little batter, tilting the pan as you go, to coat the base of the pan thinly. Cook the pancake over a medium heat for 1-2min, using a palette knife to check it's golden underneath. Toss or turn over, and cook for a further 1min until golden.
3. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Don't worry if the first pancake isn't quite right - it never is! Repeat with remaining batter and butter as required. Separate the pancakes with strips of greaseproof paper to stop them sticking together.
