Enjoy Pancake Day with help from BBC Good Food magazine!

It's Pancake Day! Whether you're a traditional sugar and lemon-er or prefer something different, make sure you get your pancake batter right...

It’s Shrove Tuesday – or as it’s more commonly know, Pancake Day! We love a day that celebrates food in the iSUBSCRiBE office and we’ve been discussing the best toppings for pancakes, as we know it’s different for everyone.

Some of us traditionalists stick to lemon and sugar, whilst others enjoy maple syrup, chocolate, nutella and banana. However, you like to spice your pancakes up, you need to have a great pancake to begin with so here’s a great recipe we’ve found from BBC Good Food magazine…

You will need:
140g plain flour
200ml whole milk
2 eggs
25g unsalted butter, melted, plus a little extra for greasing

1. Sift the flour with a pinch of salt into a medium-size bowl and make a well in the middle. Mix the milk and 100ml of water together. Break the eggs into the well and start whisking slowly. Add the milk and water in a steady stream, whisking constantly and gradually incorporating the flour as you do so.

2. Whisk until the batter is smooth and all the flour has been incorporated. Set the batter aside to rest for 30 mins, then whisk the melted butter into the batter.

3. Heat the pan over a medium heat. Very lightly grease the pan with melted butter. Using a ladle, pour roughly 2 tbsp of batter into the pan and swirl it around so the bottom of the pan is evenly coated. You want to use just enough batter to make a delicate, lacy pancake. Cook the pancake for about 45 secs on one side until golden and then using a palette knife or fish slice, flip the pancake over and cook the other side for about 30 secs until it freckles.

4. Slide the pancake out of the pan and either serve immediately or stack on a plate with baking parchment in between. Continue until all the batter is used up.

Happy Pancake Day!
