Heat 55 ml (2 fl oz) of water and all of the milk and the sugar in a small pan until it is hand-hot (also known as lukewarm or blood temperature) - no higher or you will kill the yeast
Pour the liquid into a bowl and sprinkle the yeast onto the milk
Whisk the mixture well and leave in a warm place (eg airing cupboard) for 15 minutes so it can start to ferment
It should be frothy if everything is going well
With a wooden spoon, fold in the flour and salt and mix well so that eventually you have a smooth, fairly liquid batter
Cover with a damp Tea-toweltea-towel and leave in the warm cupboard for 50 minutes. If its not started to foam after an hour, leave it a little longer. It wont come to any harm.
