| 2 Cups of light beer at room temperature | 0 grams | 0 oz | NaN% |

Percentages are relative to flour weight (flour equals 100%) and every other ingredient is a percentage of this. Flour from the starter is not counted. This recipe was originally in grams and has been automatically converted to other measures.
Mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until well combined.
Beat eggs, then add melted butter and beat again briefly, add beer and stir until mixed in.
Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, mix together until lumps are gone, DON'T mix until smooth, overmixing makes tough pancakes.
Heat heavy based fry pan on low heat, too hot and you will burn them. When hot, grease with an oil dampened piece of kitchen paper.
Pour in batter until you get about an 8cm circle. When the bubbles rise and burst and the hole doesn't fill in again, turn them. Just make sure they are lightly browned before you turn them.

Thankyou Bill, and TP for the recipes. I do want to make some pancakes, probably on Sunday, when most of my family is present.

Lucky them.
Was just ribbing you, Bill. Beer does make excellent and light batters.

Yep, and there's always some left over from the recipe. Sort of a grown up version of licking the bowl.
I fold in some beaten eggwhite into the batter to puff them up. What's the purpose of resting the batter in the fridge for a couple of hours?
