Add 200 mls of water and beat the mixture until well combined, adding more water a tablespoon at a time until the batter is runny.

Place a flat bottom pan over a pan of boiling water.

Brush the batter onto the pan in a circular motion, filling in any thin spots.

Cook for a couple of minutes until the edges lift from the pan, then remove it from the heat.

Brush lightly with oil and dab off excess with a kitchen towel.
