I'm not sure what makes me happier than food in movies.  Enjoy!  Thank you Wes Anderson and Fox for this!

I see pancake mixes in shops and it breaks my heart. Pancakes are sooooooo easy to make, and they really are one of those things that are a million times tastier when home made, and worth the little effort they take.

I thought I would share my two favourite foolproof recipes.

You need a non-stick pan. You can buy special crepe pans, but I just use a tefal non-stick 28cm Pan which I use only for pancakes (Tefal also make a non-stick crepe pan) Heat it up, add a splash of oil and away you go.

Pancakes
1 Large Egg
300ml Milk
100g Self Raising Flour (for gluten free use SR gluten free flour with a pinch of xanthum gum)
Pinch of Salt

Mix well, and rest for 30 minutes before using

Vegan Pancakes
1/2 Cup Non-Dairy Milk
1/2 cup Water
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1 Cup Plain Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt

Mix well, and rest for two hours

The first pancake is traditionally a bit rubbish, so I always eat this quickly myself before anyone notices.

Just remember practice makes perfect - make double the mixture if you're worried that you might need to bin a few

Enjoy- and please share! X
