- 02
Fill your tin(s) with a thin layer of your chosen oil, and place into the oven to heat up.

Sieve flour into a bowl, then beat in eggs until smooth.
- 04
Slowly add the milk in stages, beating as you go until well-mixed.

Season with salt and pepper. Add optional ingredients as desired.
- 06
Transfer the batter to a pouring jug. For best results, rest the batter in the fridge for 1 hour.
