Ingredients

2 eggs
100g plain flour
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

place the flour and salt in a bowl, add the eggs and gradually beat in the milk until it forms a smooth batter
pour into a jug (or use a ladle)
Heat the oil and butter in a shallow frying pan until the butter melts
Pour the excess oil & butter mix into a bowl and use as needed
Pour some batter into the pan and cook until it starts bubbling
Flip over (you can use a fish slice for this if you aren’t brave enough to toss it)
