Here are a few of our serving suggestions - Caramelised Oranges, Fried Banana & bacon,Cinnamon Sugar & a squeeze of lemon. Go savoury and fill with Bolognaise sauce or GrilledMushrooms, Thyme & Goats Cheese.

Make the batter tonight so its ready to pour into your pan tomorrow morning. Don't be disheartened if your first pancake's a flop, it nearly always is!! These pancakes are more crumpet than crepe but are delicious nevertheless!

Pancakes with Fried Banana

For the batter, whisk together:

3 large eggs, 115g flour, 1 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt, 140 ml of milk into a smooth batter.

For the caramelised bananas:

In a pan over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs of butter then add 3 Tbs of caster sugar and melt to form a caramel sauce. Add 4 sliced bananas and toss in the sauce until golden and warmed through.

For the pancakes:

Heat a non stick pan over medium heat. Pour some of the batter into the pan and cook until it starts to look golden and firm. Flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.

Serve together with a blob of Greek Yoghurt.
