Prepare the wet mix: crack 5 eggs into a Pyrex jug.

Whisk the eggs in the jug until combined.

Pour in 12 fluid ounces of milk and whisk again until mixed.

Set the wet mix aside.

Prepare the dry mix: measure 1.5 cups of flour into a bowl using a half cup measure (3 scoops).

Sift the flour to remove lumps.

Continue adding the wet mix in increments of 100-200 ml, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

If lumps remain, pass the batter through a sieve to achieve a smooth consistency.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the pan.

Pour in half a cup (4 oz) of batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.

Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a plate.
