Serves
6
INGREDIENTS:
 |
1
cup self-raising flour |
|
2
tablespoons sugar |
|
1
(hefty) pinch of salt |
|
4
tablespoons corn oil (the
secret ingredient) |
|
1
large egg |
|
1/2
cup milk |
|
1/3
cup buttermilk |
PREPARATION:
 |
Mix
the flour, sugar and salt
thoroughly. (You can use
a food processor if it one
is available, I usually
just whisk thoroughly).
|
|
In
a suitably sized bowl, thoroughly
mix the oil, egg, milk and
butter, and then add the
previously mixed dry ingredients.
|
|
Refrigerate
the batter, which should
be very thick, for 1-2 hours. |
|
Heat
a teaspoon of oil in a skillet,
spread evenly, and pour
¼ cup of batter into
the skillet. |
|
Reduce
heat to medium . When bubbles
appear, flip pancake. After
about 1 minute, remove and
serve with a dab of batter
or one of our great pancake
sauces, and repeat preparation
process.* |
| *Before
you repeat the process,
give the batter a quick
mix, as the flour has a
tendency to sink to the
bottom of the bowl. If the
batter is too thick, add
a little milk and mix vigorously. |
