Granny's Proper Pancakes

My mum taught me this last week after only, oh... 20 years. They're really tasty and I did promise you the recipe last week!


 Ingredients:

  • 1/2 a pint of milk (whole for babies, any kind for you)
  • 4oz plain flour
  • 1 egg
Method:
  1. Blend the egg and milk together (in a blender, we don't go for inefficiency on this blog!).
  2. Gradually add the flour.
  3. Let the mix rest in the fridge for half an hour.
  4. Heat some oil in a frying pan (no more than a tbsp olive oil for a baby) then pour a ladleful (about 4 tbsp) in and swirl it around until the base is completely covered.
  5. Leave it on the heat until the sides of the mix begin to come away from the edges of the frying pan (like you would an omelette).
  6. Flip it (the fun part!) and let it cook for about half a minute.


Vienna has a thing about blueberries at the minute. They're great for practicing her pincer actions (using your thumb and forefinger to pick things up). I think this would also be nice if you stuck the raspberries and blueberries in the blender then spread the moosh inside the pancakes and rolled them up.


Here's Steve's with strawberries and fruit sugar. I stole half of it and did not feel guilty.
