A dollop of yoghurt, a sprinkling of your favourite unsalted nuts and seeds, and a little runny honey, to taste, will always work a treat on the side.

About the recipe
Pancakes allow you to have a bit of fun – they’re a wonderful vehicle for additional flavour, and a great way to try a whole rainbow of fruits and veggies, for both kids and adults alike. Plus, by introducing a savoury option, you can enjoy pancakes for brekkie, brunch, lunch or dinner! Just grab a mug, use it to measure both the flour and the milk, add an egg, mix and go!
Ingredients
1 mug of wholemeal self-raising flour
1 mug of semi-skimmed milk or your favourite unsweetened, fortified plant milk
1 large free-range egg
Sweet pancakes
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Savoury pancakes
50g crumbled feta cheese
Method
- Put all the ingredients into a large bowl with a small pinch of sea salt (for fatter, fluffier pancakes, use a heaped mug of flour) and whisk well, adding the extra sweet or savoury ingredient, if you wish.
- Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Spritz with olive oil, then go in with a few separate tablespoons of batter. Add your chosen fruit or veg to each, then, once golden on the base, gently flip over, until lightly golden on the fruit or veg side, too. Serve, and repeat!
A spoonful of cottage cheese, soured cream or yoghurt over the top and a handful of lemony-dressed rocket will complete your plate nicely.
