  1. Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Whisk milk and egg together in a separate jug, then gradually add to dry ingredients while whisking.
  2. Melt butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until bubbling.
  3. Pour dollops of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles form and bottoms are golden. Flip and cook until the other side is golden.
  4. Transfer cooked pancakes to a tea towel to keep warm. Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  5. Serve warm with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of extra cheese, pairing with crispy bacon or fried eggs if desired.
