Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 300 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for frying)
• 1 to serve Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Caster sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into the well.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously, starting from the center and drawing in the dry ingredients. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter to the batter and mix until combined.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to lightly grease the surface.

Step 6

Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter into the pan and swirl it around to create a thin, even pancake.

Step 7

Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form and the edges begin to lift. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter to the pan if needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of caster sugar.
