The Perfect Pancake Recipe

We are sharing the perfect pancake recipe – check out the video and follow along!

It’s been passed down through the generations from a French grandmother all the way to the screens of London Live.

Our presenter Tanya was joined by a chef from Le Montmartre who showed her how to make a delicious stack of pancakes!

What you’ll need is:

Ingredients list

– Half a litre of milk

– 250g flour

– A pinch of salt

– 4 eggs

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 1 or 2 tbsp water

– Lemon zest (optional)

Method

Put the flour into a mixing bowl and make a hole in the middle.

Break the eggs in the hole and add the olive oil, salt and a splash of the milk.

Mix all these ingredients together with a wooden spoon whilst adding the rest of the milk gradually (you can also add lemon zest to the mix)

Once you’ve reached a smooth consistency, add the water.

Cover the mixing bowl with a kitchen towel and leave the batter to rest for at least 30min, one hour is preferable.

Melt some butter in a large pan and pour one ladle of the mixture in evenly.

Cook until the pancake begins to brown slightly.

Choose your favourite toppings and enjoy!
