Traditional English Pancake Recipe

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 g of plain or all purpose flour , two eggs , beaten in a bowl and 300 mL of whole milk .

You could also use um , plant-based milk if you like and half a teaspoon of salt .

Now , the first step is to just mix the salt 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 .

First 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 into that .

Well , we're just gonna break in the eggs and then it's a simple case of mixing , mix all this 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 going to start to add the milk .

You want to add the milk in little by little until each part is combined .

And this is just a method that I've always used and it seems to work for me .

Um , 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 going to transfer this batter into the jug that we had the milk in .

And then all I'm gonna do with this is just let this rest .

Now , the best place to let it 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 ladle at a time .

You want quite a thin thin pancake because that's traditionally what the English pancakes are .

Um , 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 2 to 3 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 bits and bits that 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 , um , this batter I think made about seven or eight pancakes .

As you can see , these ones were quite small , but you can 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'll always love reading them .

Thanks guys .

Bye .
