Method

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs and beat with a whisk or fork. Gradually beat in the milk, drawing in the flour from around the edge, until you have a smooth batter.

2. Cover and leave to stand in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

3. Heat a little oil in a 18cm heavy-based frying pan, tilting the pan to spread the oil evenly.

4. Pour in just enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden on the under side. Flip over, and cook the other side until golden.

5. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

6. Repeat with the remaining batter to make eight pancakes.

It is basic, but I only do this once a year, so it's difficult to remember the quantities! This is pretty fool proof as long as you have a good hot pan. We ate half with ham and jarlsburg cheese, and the other half with lemon and sugar.

You should NEVER put a hot iron frying-pan under a cold tap.. Could ruin it.. Believe me,, I live in Sweden!
