Traditional British Shrove Tuesday Pancakes
Classic British pancakes served on Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday).
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose flour (plus 2 tbsp if using cups)
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 egg beaten
- 8 oz milk
- 1 Tbsp Grand Marnier liqueur or your favorite liqueur, or water
- 2 Tbsp butter or more as needed (for the pan)
- ½ lemon fresh, organic (to serve)
- 2 Tbsp sugar (to serve)
Instructions
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl; make a well in the middle and add the beaten egg.
- Stir in half the milk, working in the flour gradually until it begins to form a batter, then beat well and add the rest of the milk and liqueur or water.
- Pour batter into a jug and let stand for about 15 minutes before making any pancakes, if you have time. When batter has rested, heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat, add a little bit of butter to the center of the pan, stir the batter then pour in a small amount into the pan then swirl it so that it spreads thinly.
- Cook for about one minute, then turn and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
- Place on a plate, drizzle with juice from a fresh lemon, sprinkle with sugar then roll or fold to eat immediately, or else keep the pancakes on a plate over simmering water to keep warm, then add the lemon juice and sugar.
- Continue adding a tiny bit of butter to the pan and repeat the instructions to cook the remaining batter.
Notes
- Allowing the batter to rest for a while makes for better results.
