Delia on Pancakes
This is pretty much what I do, though I usually let the mix stand for half an hour or so before cooking. Remember pancakes should be too thin to flip - use a spatula to turn. |

flour, milk, egg, melted butter. not sure how important the butter is, though.
a runny mixture is what you are aiming for. I think I tend to use one egg, rather than 2, and have more milk. I wouldn't add water, as in Delia's recipe. when you cook the pancakes, the first never seems so good. I think the pan needs to be very hot. |

No water in mine either. I think that may just be a nod back to the days when, to save money, you would stretch the milk a bit further. I never weigh or measure anything though, it's all by eye. If I have time I pop it in the fridge for half hour or so.

Most important thing is to get the pan smoking hot. The batter mix only needs to be approximate.

This is the closest recipe I could find to the way I make pancakes. http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/22467...h-pancake.aspx
I know my method of an egg and some flour and some sugar and enough milk to make a batter isn't very useful when someone asks for a recipe. |

I prefer scotch ones, or putting sugar and vanilla essence in the mix
normal ones are too dull for me.

If you can't make a pancake you might as well give up

Another vote for Delia recipe here. Only use a mixture of milk and water if you use full fat milk otherwise just semi is fine.
Personally, I disagree that making pancakes is really easy. Even tho I am an experienced cook I sometime don't wait for the pan to be a the right temperature and the first pancake is a dud. Practice makes nearly perfect |

If you can't be bothered measuring things out you can get pankcake mix in a bottle and you shake and pour out or alternatively you can buy ready made ones. |
