How to make

  1. Sift the flour into a bowl, with a pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre and break the large eggs into it. Gently whisk the eggs into the flour then slowly add the milk mixture and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Grease a 20cm (or whatever you have that’s similar) frying pan with some of the remaining melted butter and paper tissue, before heating over a high heat.
  3. Fill a small jug with the batter and pour slowly into the pan, tilting the pan from side to side to get even coverage.
  4. Cook for 30 seconds before using a spatula (or your impressive skills) to flip the pancake. Cook on the other side for a further 30 seconds until pale golden and crispy at the edges, then gently tip onto a plate.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter and butter until there’s no more, building an impressive pancake stack as you go.
  6. To serve, scatter with blueberries and a pinch of granulated sugar, then squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the top. Bon appétit!
