Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add milk and mix with a fork or stick blender.
Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes. (Do not skip this step!)
Add more water or milk if the batter is too thick. (The batter should be pourable; just a bit thicker heavy cream).
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan.
Pour some batter in the pan and swirl around until the bottom of the pan is covered.
Bake until the top is dry and the bottom golden.
Turn, and bake until the other side is golden as well.
Remove from the pan and place on a large plate.
Continue baking until you’ve no batter left.
Serve with dark treacle, golden syrup, jam, or powdered sugar.
