Steps:
- Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the milk, oil and eggs. Mix well and try to get some of the lumps out of the batter. Don't worry about making it perfectly smooth. It will be fine.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. When heated, scoop the pancake batter recipe into the frying pan with a large spoon to make individual pancakes. The pan will probably only take 1 or two pancakes at a time, depending how large you make them. Cook on one side until the top begins to bubble, then flip the pancake over and cook on the other side.
- The number of pancakes it makes depends on how large you make them, but the recipe serves 2 to 4 people.

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 that they are fresh. Use high-quality flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, and milk.
- Mix the batter properly: Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes. Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Then, combine the two mixtures and stir until just combined.
- Let the batter rest: Allow the batter to rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This will help the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Flip the pancakes at the right time: Wait until bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown before flipping them. Flip the pancakes only once, as flipping them too often can make them tough.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
With a few simple tips and tricks, you can make delicious pancakes at home. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite pancake recipe.
