This recipe is taken from my *30 Minute Cookbook by Jenni Fleetwood. I’ve been using this cookbook for years, it’s had so much use the pages are sticking together! It has some really delicious dishes within it.

Instructions
- Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the sugar. Make a well in the flour and sugar and add the eggs and half the milk. Stir, gradually adding the dry ingredients until smooth, then beat in the remaining milk.
- Stir most of the melted butter into the batter. Heat your pan then grease it lightly with butter. Spoon in 4tbsp of the batter, tilting the pan so that it coats the bottom evenly.
