Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Step 2: Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk and melted butter until smooth and combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to over-mix. You want the batter to be smooth but still slightly lumpy.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a small amount of butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, ladle in small amounts of the pancake batter to form round pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar, as is tradition in the UK. You can also serve with jam, fresh berries, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
