250ml of milk
A pinch of salt and sugar
Gareth explained: The reason you put the salt in there is it just wakens the pancake up a little bit, and give you a bit more flavour.”
He says he likes to make the batter in a jug, so it’s easy to pour out into the pan.
The milk and eggs go in first, and they’re whisked. Then you add in the flour, and give it a good beating to clear out any lumps. The pinch of sugar and salt goes in last.
However, Gareth said it’s “crucial” you leave the batter alone for around 15 minutes after mixing to ensure you get a nice soft pancake.
Kids in the kitchen: How to get your children cooking ‘The concept of clean as you go is how professional kitchens operate and is what I teach my junior chefs’

“What’s for dinner?” is a familiar refrain in many households, but in some locked down home schooling hubs and working-from-home spaces, it is now being asked by parents and answered by their children. It might sound too good to be true, but with entertainment options limited and personal freedoms curtailed, increasing numbers of young people are exploring the possibilities of the kitchen.
Gareth Mullins, executive head chef at the Marker hotel in Dublin, began teaching online cookery classes last year and had more than 500 sign ups for his first class for young cooks. He now offers Zoom classes filmed in his kitchen that go live on Saturday mornings and feature the chef cooking family-friendly dishes along with his children Georgia Mae (10) and Zac (13).
