Making pancakes

How to make thin pancakes which won't stick to your pan.

Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
Make a well in the centre and add the eggs with a third of the milk.
Stir until you have a thick, smooth paste, then add the rest of the milk.
Leave to rest for 30 minutes. Heat a frying pan. Wipe around the inside with oiled kitchen paper.
Tip a ladle full of batter into the pan, swirl the pan. When the edges of the pancake turn golden underneath and the surface looks dry, use a fish slice to turn the pancake or flip it.
Cook for about 30 seconds on the second side then serve.

To make a batch of pancakes, put greaseproof paper between each layer. Reheat them under a low heat in the oven,or microwave for 30 seconds to a minute.
