Ingredients
  

For the Batter:
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 300 ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil plus extra for frying
For the Topping:
  • 4-5 tbsp Bramble Farm Bees Wild Honey
  • 1 large lemon juiced
  • 1 handful fresh blackberries optional

Method
 

Prepare the Batter Base
  1. Sift 100g of plain flour into a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Make a small well in the middle of the flour and crack in 2 large eggs.
Mix until Smooth
  1. Gradually pour in 300ml of semi-skimmed milk, whisking constantly from the center outwards. Continue until you have a smooth, thin batter with the consistency of single cream. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil (this helps the texture and prevents sticking).
Rest the Batter (Optional)
  1. If you have time, let the batter sit for 20 minutes. This allows the starch grains to swell, resulting in a lighter, more tender pancake.
The Fry
  1. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add a tiny drop of oil and wipe it around with a piece of kitchen roll. Pour in a small ladle of batter and immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion so the batter coats the base thinly and evenly.
The Flip
  1. Cook for about 60 seconds. Once the edges begin to curl and brown and the bottom is golden, use a palette knife or spatula to flip it over. Cook the other side for another 30 seconds.
The Wild Honey Glaze
  1. While the pancake is still warm, drizzle a generous tablespoon of Bramble Farm Bees Wild Honey over the surface. The heat from the pancake will help the honey melt into a glossy, aromatic syrup.
Serve
  1. Squeeze over fresh lemon juice, add a few fresh blackberries if using, and fold or roll the pancake. Serve immediately while hot.
