Introduce the type of pancake being made, emphasizing it's not a crepe or American pancake.

Measure out 120g (about 1 cup) of all-purpose flour and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Whisk the flour and salt together.

Crack 2 fresh eggs into the bowl with the flour.

Pour in about 200ml of full cream milk and add 100ml of water to make a total of 300ml.

Mix the batter until it resembles a thick cream and let it rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Heat a non-stick frying pan and add a small smear of butter.

Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to coat evenly.

Cook until bubbles form, then flip the pancake.

Note that the first pancake may not be perfect; it's a common rule.

Transfer the first pancake to a plate and repeat the process for the second pancake, which should come out better.

Serve pancakes immediately to family, emphasizing the traditional way of serving with lemon juice and sugar.

Roll the pancake up and cut it with a fork to eat.
