Ingredients
- 100 g/3½ oz self-raising flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 100 ml/3½ fl oz whole milk or milk of choice
- 30 g/1 oz spinach or kale leaves, tough stalks removed
- 2 teaspoons melted butter
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 30 g/1 oz cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- olive oil, for cooking
- freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Put the flour, baking powder, milk, spinach and melted butter in a blender. Add the egg and blitz to a thick batter. Leave the batter to rest for 20 minutes, then stir in the cheese and spring onions. Season the batter with pepper
- Heat enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the batter per fritter to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side until light golden. You should be able to cook 3–4 at a time
- Add oil more to the pan, if needed, and cook a second batch of pancakes – there’s enough batter to make 8 in total
- To serve, cut one pancake into 4–5 slices and accompany with steamed broccoli florets, carrot sticks and hummus on the side. The remaining pancakes will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and can be reheated in a dry frying pan. Alternatively, freeze until needed
