God Shall Supply All Your Need

No fancy filling and topping for these pancakes or crepes, if you want to call them. Just a scatter of caster sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice can make these taste heavenly. Simple and plain, easy and fast to make. This is Delia Smith tried and trusted recipe and is also her basic pancake recipe. This pancake recipe was in the Waitrose commercial video when Delia Smith was their spokeswoman.

Basic Pancake with Sugar and Lemon
Delia Smith


Ingredients

110g plain flour
pinch of salt
2 large eggs
200ml milk mixed with 75ml water
50g butter

To serve
caster sugar,lemon juice and lemon wedges


Method

• First of all sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with the sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets an airing.

• Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it.
• Then begin whisking the eggs - any sort of whisk or even a fork will do - incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so.

• Next, gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture,still whisking (don't worry about lumps as they will eventually disappear as you whisk). 

• When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of then cream.

• Now melt the butter in the pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it when needed to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round.
• Now get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and, to start with, do a test pancake to see if you're using the correct amount of batter. It's also helpful if you spoon the batter into a ladle so it can be poured into the hot pan in one go. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. It should take only half a minute or so to cook;you can lift the edge with a palette knife to see if it's tinged gold as it should be. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife - the other side will need a few seconds only - then simply slide it out of the pan on to a plate.

To serve, sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in hlaf, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up. Serve sprinkled with a little more sugar and lemon juice and extra sections of lemon.
