Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix the flour, sugar and mixed spice in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the egg and milk. Whisk until the batter is almost lump free. Fold in the sultanas.

  2. Heat a heavy-based frying pan or griddle and carefully wipe the base of the pan with the butter using a sheet of kitchen paper. The pan or griddle should have a slight shine but very little butter residue.

  3. Place 1 tablespoon of batter in the pan to make a small pancake about 5cm/2in in diameter. Cook in batches of 3–4 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden (usually around 1–1½ minutes). Keep the pancakes warm and repeat with the remaining batter.

  4. Serve warm with butter and a sprinkling of caster sugar.
