We spent the afternoon on the beach at Tynemouth, in unseasonably hot sunshine. Weird.
Anyway, we were starving. So pancakes it was.
Makes enough for one adult and one toddler:
1 egg, beaten
115g plain flour
a pinch of salt
1 heaped teaspoon of baking powder
150ml milk
a knob of butter, melted
Stick everything in the blender, and persuade sandy toddler to press the button. Ideally you should leave the batter to stand for a bit, but we were too hungry.
Melt a little butter in the frying pan (or use a bit of sunflower oil), turn the heat up high, and then drop a ladleful of batter into the pan. After about a minute or two, you'll see little bubbles and blisters appear on the surface. Turn the pancake over, and then give it about another minute. Ta da! Repeat ad nauseam until you've run out of batter.
You could make a stack, American stylee, dripping with maple syrup. Or stick some sweetcorn/blueberries/spinach (anything small, essentially), into the ladleful of batter once it's hit the pan. We ate ours today with salty, smoked streaky bacon - either on the side (you) or in the middle of the batter (me). Sadly we'd run out of maple syrup, but Golden Syrup was a fairly good substitute.
