Pancakes

We had pancakes for breakfast this morning. Normal thin ones, not buttermilk, or those cakey ones you get in America. I suppose crepes is really what we had, but in Ireland, these are just pancakes.
Get a blender and put 100g of plain flour in there. Crack an egg in. Add a half pint of milk and zuzz the lot up for a few seconds. That is all it takes.
Put a pan on medium for a few minutes to heat it up. Then jack the heat up nice and high. Try not to completely torch your pan though. You know what your own pan can take. Non stick surfaces are not very happy being incinerated repeatedly.
Put a very small knob of butter on the pan and let it melt. Wipe it off with a wadded up piece of kitchen paper. Careful not to burn yourself here. I did this morning :(
Now pour enough of the mix on to the pan to cover about half of the surface area. Tilt the pan around to thin the pancake out. Then let it cook for a few minutes. Small bubbles should be visible on the surface. When they have all burst, you can flip it over. Give it another minute or 2 and put it on a warmed plate. Keep this plate in the oven at about 80 degrees until you have all the pancakes cooked. Then sit down and eat. Golden syrup is great on these, or nutella, or butter lemon and sugar.
