1. Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre with the back of a spoon then break in the egg and pour in half the milk. Whisk together, gradually incorporating the flour to make a smooth thick batter. Beat thoroughly to remove any lumps, then stir in the rest of the milk.
2. Heat a little oil or butter in a medium frying pan, then tip off the excess into a bowl. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan, tilting the pan as you pour, until the batter thinly coats the base. Cook over a moderate heat for 30 seconds to one minute until golden brown on the underside.
3. Flip over the pancake with a palette knife, and cook the other side until it is golden brown. Slide the pancake out of the pan on to a plate, heat a little more oil or butter and cook the remaining pancakes one at a time in the same way.
4. If preparing in advance, cook and stack the pancakes. Reheat in the microwave on Medium (750W) for about 2 minutes. Alternatively, heat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C. Wrap the pancakes in foil and warm them through in the oven for 10 minutes.

  Forget all those packets of pancake mix - make them according to this recipe and you are in for a treat! I used three tablespoons of mixture at a time in my pan because I prefer them slightly thicker, and I popped some oil in a cup and used a pastry brush to quickly oil the pan between pancakes, finding this a quick, easy and clean method (probably uses less fat this way too). These pancakes stack and keep in the fridge very well. I wrapped them in foil and put them in the hot oven whilst we ate our main course and they were piping hot and absolutely delicious - they did not stick together either which was a relief. Thank you Good Food for the best pancake recipe ever!

  Made these on Tuesday. I don't care for pancakes, but my husband loves them and ate 4 in one sitting !!! I froze the remainder, but expect they will have a very short freezer-life !!
