Step by Step Method
Step 1
Sieve the flour into a mound in a mixing bowl, making a well in the centre.
Step 2
Break the egg into it and the extra yolk, add a pinch of salt and mix with a wire whisk.
Step 3
Add the milk and 1 tablespoon of cold water to form a very fluid paste.
Step 4
Melt the butter and when liquid mix into the paste.
Step 5
Leave the mixture in a cool place for a least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
Step 6
Stir the batter well before use, and if it has thickened while standing, add a further 2- 3 tablespoons of cold water.
Step 7
The pancakes must be very thin, therefore the batter must be almost as liquid as water.
Step 8
Heat a small frying pan over a medium temperature, wipe it round with buttered paper and pour a large tablespoon of batter into it, rotating the pan so that the mixture runs evenly over the bottom.
Step 9
Cook for 1 minute shaking the pan to loosen the pancake, turn it over and cook the other side 1 minute, Keep hot between two plates placed over a pan of simmering water whilst cooking the rest of the batter.
