I really like pancakes, and they’re my ideal Lazy Sunday breakfast. This version is excellent as a kids’ treat for Christmas Morning breakfast.
Prep time: 20 minutes/Cook time 20 minutes/Serves: 6
Ingredients:
1 mug self-raising flour (200g/7oz)
1 mug milk (300ml/1 1/4 cups)
1 large egg
3 oranges, zest finely grated (fruit cut into wedges to accompany the pancakes)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 tsp butter
2 tbsp runny honey, for drizzling
raisins or craisins, to decorate
Method:
Combine the flour and milk into a large bowl, crack in the egg and beat well with a balloon whisk. Add the orange zest, cinnamon and salt and whisk again.
Melt a little butter in a heavy-based frying pan. Add a small ladleful of batter and fry for 4 minutes, or until golden-brown. Turn over and fry the second side for 3 minutes, or until golden-brown.
Garnish with raisins or craisins for the eyes and mouth. Serve with a drizzle of honey and orange wedges for squeezing over. Increase the ingredients proportionately to serve more people.
