- 01
Heat oven as high as it can go—around 300°C / 570°F is traditional, but do whatever your oven can manage that gets close to this. If using a cast-iron pan, get it into the oven at the start so that it is hot when the batter goes into it.
- 02
Whisk all the ingredients together well, ensuring there are no lumps. This should make a very thin, easy-to-pour batter.
- 03
Once the oven is up to temperature, pour some of the batter into the hot pan or onto the plaque, and put into the oven for 8–9 minutes at 300°C / 570°F, or 13–15 minutes at 250°C / 480°F. With a 50 cm plaque or pan, cook half the batter at a time—the batter should cover the plaque or pan very thinly.
- 04
Remove from the oven and cut into triangular wedges. Serve hot.
- 05
Repeat for the rest of the batter.
Ready to serve
Serve the dish as directed and enjoy it while it is at its best.
