  • Place your favourite frying pan on a medium heat and brush with a little oil. After resting, the mix should be frothy. when the pan is fully preheated, gently mix the batter before adding a ladleful to the pan. Swirl to spread out the batter into an even pancake. Cook until dry on top and edges just start to pull away from the pan, then flip. Cook until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Serve immediately with your preferred toppings or allow to cool before wrapping and storing the fridge till you're ready to eat.
