Put the butter in an 8-inch frying pan and melt over low heat.

Break the egg over a big bowl and beat it with a fork or a chopstick.

-
5
Mix everything together.
-
6
Add the flour and mix together well.

If you mix too much, you'll get tough pancakes!

Don't wash the frying pan, but put it on the stove over medium heat.

To know when it is hot enough, flick a drop of water into the pan.

When it jumps and sizzles, the pan is ready.

Take a 1/4-cup measure and fill it with the pancake batter.

Pour the batter into the pan and tilt the pan so the batter runs all over it.

Cook the pancake until the edges get brown and little holes start to appear on top.

This takes about 2 minutes.

Keep on making pancakes.

Eat them from your hand, like a hot dog.
