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.
