The Queen’s recipe ends there so in true royal fashion, there’s a bit of secrecy when it comes to how long to cook them and what exactly is a teacup, anyway?
Here’s what we suggest: 1 teacup = approximately 3/4 cup so you’ll need 3 cups flour and 1 1/2 cups milk. Heat a griddle with some melted butter and drop the batter by the spoonful onto the griddle. Then, as is the case with pancakes, when bubbles start to form, flip to the other side and continue to cook until golden. The finished result will be pancakes fit for a queen!
