Pancakes

• 110g plain flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 2 tsp dark rum
• 200g full-fat milk
• 75g water
• 30g unsalted butter

Step 1
"You'd go to the supermarket or creperie, get a dozen crêpes à emporter [pancakes to go], spread butter on them, roll them up and dunk them in hot chocolate".

Step 2
salt a pinch.

Step 3
Make the batter.

Step 4
Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the middle using a spatula.

Step 5
Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them using a small whisk or fork, then add the vanilla paste (or extract) and the rum.

Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the well and gradually combine the ingredients with a whisk.

Step 7
Once they are combined, mix the milk and water and add it, little by little, until you get a smooth batter – it's important not to do this all at once or you'll get lumps.
