Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
- Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, sift in the flour, salt, and sugar (if using). Make a well in it and crack in two eggs. Add in about 1/4 cup of milk. Whisk the eggs together, slowly incorporating in the flour.
- As the batter starts to thicken, slowly continue to whisk in the rest of the milk. The batter should go from lumpy to smooth. Whisk in the oil. You can also use an electric mixer on low speed to bring everything together.
- Preheat a 10 or 12-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan on medium-high heat. Make sure the skillet is nice and hot before you start making the pancakes.
- Melt a bit of butter on the pan and swirl it around so it evenly coats the pan. Alternatively, melt the butter in a small bowl and brush it on using a silicone basting brush (see post for why I prefer to use a brush).
- Pour on the pancake batter and quickly swirl the pan around so the pancake batter spreads into a thin layer. I use a crepe spreader to get the perfect round and thin pancake (see post for why this is a handy tool).
- Cook for about 30 - 45 seconds, until the top of the pancake is no longer liquid. Gently shake pan to loosen the pancake. Carefully flip the pancake over and cook for an addition 30 - 45 seconds.
- Slide the pancake onto a plate, and serve warm. Top with a squeeze of lemon and a generous shake of powder sugar.

Steps:
- Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the middle.
- Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.
- Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.
- Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
- Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.
- Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.
- Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30 secs before turning out onto a warm plate.
- Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or make them up to a day ahead.

Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and measure them accurately. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Mix the batter properly: Over-mixing the batter can make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no lumps.
- Use a hot griddle or pan: A hot griddle or pan is essential for cooking pancakes evenly. If the griddle or pan is not hot enough, the pancakes will stick and not cook properly.
- Pour the batter in small circles: When pouring the batter onto the griddle or pan, use a small ladle or spoon to make small circles. This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from spreading out too much.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cook the pancakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
- Flip the pancakes only once: Flip the pancakes only once, when bubbles start to form around the edges and the bottom is golden brown. Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot and fresh. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
With the right ingredients, technique, and a little practice, you can make delicious flat pancakes at home. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be served with a variety of toppings, so you can customize them to your liking. So next time you're craving pancakes, don't go out to a restaurant—make them yourself!
