5. Heat an 8 inch pan over a low heat. Add a small knob of butter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
6. Use a ladle to add the pancake batter into the pan, then tilt the pan to spread the mixture out evenly.
7. As it sets, shake the pan to see if the pancake is loose, then flip it over with a palette knife. Cook the other side for 30 seconds -then shake again to see if it's loose.
8. Slide onto a warm plate, sprinkle over some sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice - then eat immediately!
9. Cook the rest of the pancakes, one at a time but remember to melt a small knob of butter before adding the batter.
