-   If you want to enjoy your pancakes at the same time, set the oven to a low temp and keep your cooked pancakes on a warm plate until you’ve made enough!
-   Any mixture you don’t use can be kept in the fridge for a few days.

1\. Add the flour to a large bowl.

2\. Crack in the eggs, along with a pinch of salt, and whisk away.

3\. Add half of your milk and mix until combined.

4\. Add the rest of the milk to create a thin batter. Got a few lumps? Don’t worry, they’ll soon melt!

5\. Before cooking each pancake, add ½ tsp of butter or a dash of oil to a hot pan and pour in a spoonful of batter in the centre. Swirl around to cover the base, then fry for about 1 minute then flip. If you’re not feeling brave enough to flip, use a fish slice to turn it over. Don’t worry, it may take a few attempts to get the perfect pancakes!

6\. Keep going until you’ve made enough pancakes, then serve with your fillings of choice!

**Sweet or savoury? Here are some Toby Tiger faves…**

**SWEET:** Try a small dollop of ice cream, a drizzle of lemon and sugar, or melted choc and banana slices. Delicious!

**SAVOURY:** We love breakfast pancakes with scrambled egg and bacon, or even pizza pancakes – top with tomato sauce, grated cheese and any toppings you like. Place under the grill until the cheese bubbles. Yum!
