I think I should be able to do it by eye to be honest - have made them many a time before so it is most definately bodge-able.

Nah use the engineering and do it properly. You know how heavy the fridge is because it should be written on the back somewhere, now use a rolling pin as a fulcrum and a scaffold board to balance the two out. Say the fridge weighs 50kg, you know the flour is 0.1kg so the distance from the centre of the pile of flour to the rolling pin needs to be 500 times as long as the distance from fridge to the rolling pin. It's child's play really, you can do it all with a plastic ruler.

And safety scissors :)
 
You think I have a rolling pin?!

I was going to look up a table of densities of common household materials (I am sure that someone has gone to great lengths to do these sorts of things for flour...) and just work it out that way.

You haven't seen the size of my room. ;). I do know one person on the ground floor who managed to 'obtain' one earlier in the year but returned it a few days later. Had I known, I could have used a traffic cone as the fulcrum...
 
Ingredients
120g/4oz plain flour
pinch of salt
2 eggs
210ml/7fl oz milk
90ml/3fl oz water
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method
1. Put the flour and the salt in a bowl and mix.
2. Make a well in the centre and crack in the eggs.
3. In a separate bowl mix together the milk and the water.
4. Beat the eggs into the flour with a wooden spoon and gradually beat in the milk and water mixture to get a smooth liquid the consistency of cream.
5. Stir in the oil and allow to stand for 30 minutes before using.

This is the recipe I'll be using tonight to make 6 of the best pancakes in the world (I hope).
