Recipe | Savoury Pancakes for Pancake Day

Happy Pancake Day! 

So it’s pancake day! The day that it is acceptable to eat as many pancakes as you want and although not many today I’ve eaten a total of 8! 

As a tradition on pancake day we, of course, try to have as many pancakes as possible in a day or at least try to sneak one into every meal – which means savoury pancakes! And although the idea of a delicious sweet treat being savoury sounds absurd it can actually be nice – especially when done right 

This year I made some savoury pancakes which had a cheese sauce, mushroom and gammon inside and they turned out great so I decided to share the recipe with you! 

For this you will need:

• 150 grams plain flour
• 450 ml milk
• 3 large free range eggs
• Slices of gammon or ham ( preferably one per person)
• 3 mushrooms 
• Tablespoon of butter
• Tablespoon of plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 250 ml milk
• 225 grams grated cheese (and a little extra to sprinkle on top)

Method 

1. Combine the flour, milk and eggs together in a jug and whisk until smooth, then set aside. 
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add flour and salt, and which till combined. 
3. Add milk. Whisk vigorously until there are no lumps. 
4. Pour into a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for 6 minutes, stopping to stir every 2 minutes to whisk. 
5. Add cheese and microwave for 2 further minutes and whisk. 
6. Slice up the gammon and mushroom and stir into the cheese sauce. 
7. Heat up a frying pan and make your pancakes ( I did two per person). 
8. Place one pancake on to a baking sheet and spoon a generous amount of the cheese sauce mixture onto the pancake and roll as you would with a sweet pancake and repeat with the rest of the pancakes 
9. Sprinkle some cheese on top and grill until the cheese has melted. 

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did and have a great week!
