Sift flour. Crack the egg into a mixing bowl.

Add the sifted flour, milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter.

Use a large non-stick pan on medium heat. I normally use 2 tablespoons of batter depending on how large I want the crumpets. For these, in particular, I dropped 2 tablespoons of batter into the Mickey Mouse mould.
