Breakfast Pear Pancakes

From Jamie's Family Christmas, ep 2 from Channel 4

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 cup of self-raising flour
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 large egg, preferably free-range or organic
• A pinch of sea salt
• 1 pear
• A few knobs of butter
• Natural yoghurt, to serve
• Runny honey, to serve

Method: How to make Poppy and Daisy’s pancakes

1. Put the flour, milk, egg and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Once combined, grate in the pear, core and all, then stir it through with a spoon.

2. Put a large pan on a medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once that melts, add the batter, a spoonful at a time. You’ll need to cook the pancakes in batches, cooking them for a few minutes until golden on the bottom then flipping them over and cooking for a few minutes more until they’re done.

3. When they’re golden and fluffy, serve them right away with a dollop of natural yoghurt and some runny honey drizzled all over the top.

TIP: If you sweeten the batter, thicken it with just a little more flour then pour them into a Yorkshire pudding or muffin tin they also make the most delicious muffins.
