Pancakes for one

I thought that I might change from the usual weekend porridge, and made myself a pancake feast! Pancakes are very easy - you need three ingredients for the batter - but do need a little patience, and not too great a hunger, to cook.

1/2 cup wholemeal plain flour
1 egg
1 cup milk (approximately)

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl to make a batter. This mix should be fairly runny. The wholemeal flour requires more liquid than using plain white flour.

Sit batter for half an hour before using.

Heat a pan on a low heat. Grease pan as required with butter.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and allow to spread to a wonky pancake shape. Bubbles should form on the pancake. Cook until these pop and then turn over the pancake.

Once the pancake is cooked, pop onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and cover with a second plate to keep the pancake warm.

Practice makes perfect in getting the heat right and the length of cooking time.

Serve with cut strawberries, banana, caster sugar and fresh lime (or lemon) juice.
