Ingredients:

• 100g (4oz) plain flour
• 1 egg
• 150ml (¼ pt) milk
• 1-2tsp mild mustard
• salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning

Directions:

1. Place the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in centre and break the egg into it. Beat lightly then gradually pour in the milk.
2. Continue beating milk and egg, incorporating all the flour, to make a smooth batter. Whisk in the mustard and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
