- Combine the flour and salt in a small mixing bowl. In a larger bowl, beat the milk and the eggs. Add flour mixture gradually, and beat till smooth. Stir in melted butter.

To keep the pancakes warm while you're cooking, stack them between greaseproof paper and place them covered with a tea towel in an extremely low oven.

Not sure about this recipe, the butter made them really oily and weird they were okay but i don't think i'd use this recipe again. - 21 Feb 2012

This was my first time making English style pancakes and they were so easy and delicious! The hardest part was converting grams to ounces, since that what we use in the US. Kids loved them and hubby said they were just what he remembered from his childhood. Thanks for a great recipe! - 08 Mar 2011
