You don’t have to wait until Shrove Tuesday to have pancakes. This recipe fits in with the bonus 100kcal on Step 4 and 5. If wished, you can make the batter beforehand and cook the pancakes between courses, or even make them in advance and reheat them just before serving.
Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Calories: 100kcals Steps: 4 and 5
Ingredients:
60g plain flour, sifted A pinch of salt 1 medium free-range egg 150ml skimmed milk Spray oil 100g raspberries 4 tbsp 0% fat Greek yoghurt 2 tsp icing sugar Sprigs of mint to decorate (optional)
Directions:
1. Make the pancake batter: whisk together the sifted flour, salt, egg and a little of the milk until smooth. Beat in the remaining milk, a little at a time, until you have a smooth batter. Pour into a jug and leave to stand for at least 10 minutes.
2. Spray a small non-stick frying pan lightly with oil and place over a medium heat. When it’s really hot, pour a quarter of the batter into the pan and tilt it to swirl the batter around and coat the base. Cook for about 2 minutes until the pancake is set and golden underneath, then flip it over and cook the other side.
3. Slide the pancake out of the pan on to a plate and keep warm while you cook the rest of the pancakes in the same way.
4. Place each pancake on a warm serving plate and sprinkle with the raspberries. Fold over and serve immediately with a spoonful of yoghurt and a dusting of icing sugar. If wished, add a sprig of mint on the side.

Instead of topping the pancakes with yoghurt and icing sugar, grate 15g plain chocolate (minimum 70 cocoa solids) over the top.
