Pancake Day Pancakes
In the United Kingdom (UK), Pancake Day is synonymous with Shrove Tuesday, a.k.a. Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras. It is viewed as the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before the upcoming Lent season. What better way to use up these ingredients than with Pancakes?
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cup milk (300 ml)
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- pinch of salt
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour(100 grams)
- 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
- Superfine sugar for sprinkling on pancakes
- Orange for squeezing juice on pancakes
Instructions
- Beat eggs and milk until fully combined. Add vegetable oil and salt; beat until well incorporated.
- Add flour; beat until smooth.
- Heat ½ teaspoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add ¼ cup of batter. Swirl pan to completely coat bottom. Cook until batter is set, about 2 minutes. Shake pan to loosen pancakes.
