Choice Pancakes with
Ham, Mushrooms and Tomato
Try these savoury pancakes, topped with folds of Parma ham or roast ham, with melting grated Pilgrims Choice Mature cheddar, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes.

Serves 4

Ingredients
110g (4oz) plain flour
Large pinch salt
1 large egg
300ml (1/2 pint) milk
4 tomatoes, halved
4 large open cup mushrooms
25g (1oz) butter
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-3 tsp vegetable oil
110g (4oz) Pilgrims Choice Mature Cheddar, grated
8 slices Parma ham or roast ham
Parsley sprigs, to garnish


Method

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the egg and milk and beat with a wire whisk to make a smooth batter.

Preheat the grill. Arrange the tomatoes and mushrooms on the grill rack. Add a tiny knob of butter to each one, then season with the dried oregano, salt and pepper. Grill for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the pancakes. Add a few drops of oil to a pancake pan or heavy-based frying pan. Pour in a thin stream of batter, tilting the pan so that the batter flows thinly across the surface. Cook over a medium heat until set, then flip over and sprinkle with grated cheese. Cook for another 2 minutes or so until set. Cook 4 large or 8 small pancakes altogether, keeping them in a warm place.

Put the pancakes onto warm plates and top with the ham, tomatoes and mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Cook's Tip
Finish off the pancakes with a little more finely grated Pilgrims Choice Mature Cheddar, if you like.
