Pancakes

1.Sift flours into a large bowl. Make a well in centre.

2.In a jug, mix together milk, water and egg. Gradually whisk into flour mixture, until smooth. Stand at least 15 minutes.

3.Heat a 10-15cm crêpe pan or small, non-stick frying pan on medium. Spray with oil or brush lightly with melted butter.

4.Add 1/4-cup measures of batter to pan, swirling to coat base. Cook 1-2 minutes, until bubbles form on surface. Turn and cook 1 minute.

5.Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with ice-cream and flavouring.

Use this as a basic mixture. If making sweet pancakes, add 2 teaspoons of sugar with flavour. If preferred, use a food processor, blender or hand mixer to prepare batter.
