Ingredients:

1

Egg

2.5 cups

Milk

Directions:

1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt

2

Add the egg and egg yolks, followed by the milk and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil

3

Continue whisking until there are no lumps

4

In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter until it is golden brown, and whisk it into the pancake mix

5

Leave the batter to rest for about 15 minutes

6

Heat an 8-inch frying pan until hot, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the pan to spread the oil across the bottom

7

When the oil starts to smoke, pour the excess into a small bowl for later use

8

Return the pan to the heat

9

You now have a sheer coating of oil remaining on the pan

10

Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pancake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly

11

Cook until the underside of the pancake is golden brown, and then, using a spatula turn it over and cook the other side

12

Turn the pancake out onto an upturned dinner plate

13

Repeat until there is no more batter, using a bit of the reserved oil if the pan appears to be dry, or if the pancakes begin to stick

14

Continue to stack pancakes on top of each other on your dinner plate

15

When finished, served the pancakes straightaway with the sugar for sprinkling and the lemon and orange wedges on the side for squeezing on the pancakes

16

If you want to make the pancakes in advance, lightly butter an ovenproof tray, and sprinkle each pancake with sugar after you finish cooking it

17

Fold the pancakes in half and then half again, arranging them all neatly on the tray

18

Cover the tray with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes

19

Serve with the lemon and orange wedges
