One-cup pancakes recipe | Good Food

Pancake cup on a plate

1 cup plain flour
1½ cups milk
1 large egg
or 2 medium eggs
20g butter
2 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
caster sugar
and lemon wedges, to serve (optional)

Method

step 1
Tip the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk and egg. Whisk together, starting in the middle, to create a smooth batter. It should be the thickness of double cream.
step 2
Heat a little of the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add a sixth of the batter to the pan, quickly swirling it so there are no holes. Fry on one side for 1-2 mins then flip over and cook for a further 1 min. Keep on a plate, covered, in a warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter to make six pancakes in total. Serve with sugar and lemon, if you like.
