Perfect Pancakes by Felicity Cloake from Perfect (Penguin / Fig Tree)

Nigel says 'Although the batter can be made just before the pancakes are cooked, it's better that the batter mix has at least 30 mins in the fridge. 听This allows the starch in the flour to swell, thickening the batter & allowing any gluten that's developed when the mixture was beaten to relax, resulting in a lighter, fluffier pancake. 听If really organised you can even prepare the batter the day before'.

Method

Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl & add a pinch of salt. 听Make a well in the centre & pour the egg & the yolk into it. 听Mix the milk with 2 tbsp of cold water & pour a little in with the egg. Use a balloon whisk to whisk the flour into the liquid ingredients, drawing it gradually into the middle until you have a smooth paste the consistency of double cream. 听Whisk the rest of the milk in until the batter has more the consistency of single cream. 听Cover & refrigerate for at least 30 mins. Heat the butter in a cr锚pe pan or a 20cm non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat 鈥� you only need enough fat to just grease the bottom of the pan. 听It should be hot enough that the batter sizzles when it hits it. Spread a small ladleful of batter across the bottom of the pan, quickly swirling to coat. 听Tip any excess away. 听When it begins to set, loosen the edges with a thin spatula or palette knife & when it begins to colour on the bottom, flip it over with the same instrument & cook for another 30 seconds. (If you're feeling cocky, you can also toss the pancake after loosening it: 听grasp the handle firmly with both hands, then jerk the pan up & slightly towards you.) Pancakes are best eaten as soon as possible, before they go rubbery, but if you're cooking for a crowd, keep them separate until you're ready to serve by layering them up between pieces of kitchen roll.
