Pancake
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, add a few drops of oil into the pan and spread with a paper towel around the base.
Add a ladleful of the batter into the hot pan, then move the pan round to spread it across the base.
Flip the pancake over when you can see little bubbles forming.
Cook for another 2-3 mins and remove from pan.
