Pancake Soup ("Frittaten Suppe")

For Pancakes or Crepes

• 105g (¾ cup) plain flour

• 3 eggs

• 2 tablespoons oil

• 180ml (¾ cup) milk

For Soup:

• Chicken broth

• Chopped chives

Step 1 - These two steps can be done the night before. Sift flour into bowl, make well in centre, add eggs and oil. Stir flour in from sides with a fork or whisk. Add milk a little at a time, beating until smooth. Pour into a jug and stand for 1 hour.

Step 2 - Heat pan, grease lightly on low to medium heat. Pour a few tablespoons of batter into pan from the jug, work quickly and turn the pan so that the batter coats pan evenly but not too thickly. Cook slowly, loosening edges with knife, until set and lightly browned underneath. Turn and cook other side. Repeat with remaining batter. Cool pancakes and once cooled, slice into thin strips, between the width of linguine and spaghetti.
