METHOD

1.The easiest way to make these is to put all the ingredients into a blender and blitz. But if you do mix up the batter by hand in a bowl, make a well in the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, beat in the eggs, melted butter and milk, and transfer to a jug: it’s much easier to pour the batter into the pan than to spoon it. I like to leave the batter for 20 minutes before using it; and you may then want to add more milk to the mixture if you’re frying in the blini pan, so that it runs right to the edges.
2.When you cook the pancakes, all you need to remember is that when the upper side of the pancake is blistering and bubbling it’s time to cook the second side, and this needs only about 1 minute, if that.
3.I get 11 blini-pan-sized pancakes out of this, maybe 16 silver-dollar-sized ones on the griddle.

I love all of Nigella's pancake recipes, and this is a very simple one which we often make on weekends. It's perfect with just a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Being American, these are a breakfast staple around our house. In the south we use buttermilk instead of regular milk and many of us like ours with flavored syrup such as boysenberry, strawberry or blueberry. Although I'm not sure if Tesco or Sainsbury has those. Jam/jelly/preserves are also good on pancakes as well and is my personal favorite.

We make blueberry syrup to go with these pancakes - I use real maple syrup and add a handful of berries then heat it gently till it bubbles. Sometimes I'll help it along and pierce or squoosh a few bluberries as it's heating up. Leave to cool, then pour into a jug and serve with pancakes.

These are so yummy we add bananas or blueberries while cooking and serve with a good drizzle of maple syrup.
