Ingredients - Makes about 12 pancakes

8oz Unbleached White Flour
1oz Soya Flour
1oz Caster Sugar
4 fl oz Soya Milk
10 fl oz Water

Method

• Sift the flours and sugar together.
• Mix the soya milk and water together, and add to the dry ingredients a little at a time, until you have a smooth batter with a pouring consistency.
• Put a little oil in the pan and heat until very hot.
• Using a ladle, drop the equivalent of about three tablespoons of the batter into the pan and immediately tilt it to ensure an even spread.
• Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then cross your fingers and toss the pancake. Failing this, flip it over with a spatula.
• Cook the other side for a similar length of time - a good test of readiness is when it slides around the pan and is speckled with brown spots.
• Make the first pancake a sacrificial one to season the pan ie throw it away!
• Eat any disasters (or successes for that matter) with lemon juice & a sprinling of sugar, golden syrup & a sprinkling of sugar, jam & soya cream or ice cream.
