I'm not good with eyeballing inches when it comes to food. So how much should I pour into the pan for 1 pancake? (cup, oz, tbs, ml...) I'll be using a small frying pan since I'm making this for myself

tastless without sweetner.

I have a 72cal Recipe here for those who are interested in sweet but without guilt. As endorsed by Top chef Antony Worrall Thompson: "It's still possible to enjoy your Shrove Tuesday pancakes whilst reducing the calories piled on through added sugar."

For the Batter Mixture:
(serves 4)

4oz wholemeal flour
1 egg
Half a pint of skimmed milk
1 tsp Splenda Granulated Sweetener

Destructions

Put flour into basin and make a well in the middle.
Put egg in well, and stir in the flour, adding milk to make a smooth paste.
Beat thoroughly to ensure the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Add the remaining milk and stir in the sweetener
Using a non-stick frying pan sprayed with Frylight, pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan.
When the underside is brown, toss the pancake, or use a spatula to turn it over and cook on the other side.

Serve with your favorite topping, replacing any sugar with Sweetener.

(don't forget to add the topping to your diary!!)

Am i correct in thinking that these are the American style pancakes - rather than what we in the UK eat as pancakes ( morelike a crepe) ?

I know the mix is similar - but for the pancakes we make in the UK the mix is only flour, milk ( I tend to use mainly water though) and an egg). The mix is poured in and spread over the base of the frying pan - making a very thin pancake which is then rolled up to eat.

I shall be makingsome myself later on when son gets in from school. We don't just eat them on Shrove Tuesday either

Yes, but see mine above for a UK Healthy Option.

I'm going to make the original OP's ones but using wholemeal flour instead & then filling them with chicken breast and melted cottage cheese for dinner then a lemon and honey one for dessert, can't wait

you could also mix milk with water so you're using less milk!
