300ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable, plus extra for frying

Method

Method

Put the flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre

Crack the eggs into the middle, and then pour in about 50ml milk and 1 tbsp oil

Start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil 

Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste

Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat

Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter

While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk

Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream
