Ingredients

• ½ a jam jar of Free From Fairy plain or self-raising gluten-free flour (depending upon whether you want crêpe style or American style pancakes)
• 1 free-range medium egg
• ½ a jam jar of dairy-free milk
• coconut oil, for cooking

FOR CRÊPE STYLE

1. Place a frying pan on a medium heat until hot.
2. Half fill a clean dry jam jar with Free From Fairy gluten-free plain flour.
3. Crack in the egg and top up with milk until 1cm (½in) from the top of the jar.
4. Screw the lid on tightly, turn the jar on its side and shake vigorously up and down and side to side.
5. If the flour gets stuck on the bottom of the jar, dislodge with a knife and shake again.
6. Once the pan is very hot, add a knob of coconut oil or butter and leave to melt.
7. Pour a little batter into the pan and swirl quickly to cover the base. Cook until the edges start to come away from the side of the pan, then flip and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

FOR THE AMERICAN STYLE (AS IN PHOTO)

1. Place a frying pan on a medium heat until hot.
2. Half fill a clean dry jam jar with Free From Fairy self-raising flour.
3. Crack in the egg and add milk until the jar is three-quarters full.
4. Put the lid on tightly, turn the jar on its side and shake up and down and side to side vigorously.

6. Place tablespoonfuls of mixture into the pan and leave until lots of bubbles appear on the surface.
7. Flip and cook for 1 minute more.
