Preparation

 

1. Sift the flour into a bowl, crack in the eggs, 50 ml of the milk, and the sugar and nutmeg.

2. Whisk to combine (either by hand or with a food mixer).

3. Continue to beat as you slowly add more milk until you get the consistency of double cream, which coats the back of a spoon.

4. Heat a knob of butter in a small frying pan.

5. Pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan and cook approx. 30 seconds until the bottom is golden brown – use a fish slice to check underneath.

6. Flip – either with a fish slice or by tossing – then cook a further 30 seconds.

7. Serve, squeeze lemon juice the top and sprinkle with sugar.
