These are the easiest pancakes to make – you don't even need scales to weigh your ingredients. All you need is a cup or a mug. As long as you use the same cup for measuring both the flour and the milk, you'll be laughing! If you use self-raising flour, the pancakes will be more American in style: lovely and fluffy and thick. Plain flour will give you thinner ones, more like European crêpes. These are great with a sprinkling of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice (very old school!); drizzled with maple syrup and served with crispy bacon; or topped with whatever fresh fruit you've got to help you reach your 5-a-day. Try throwing a handful of blueberries into the batter mix if making American-style pancakes. Make it veggie or vegan - Simply remove the egg and milk, and replace with 2 tablespoons of flavourless oil and plant-based milk of your choice.
