Ingredients
- 50 g plain flour (all purpose)
- 1 egg
- 150 ml skimmed milk
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil (plus extra for frying)
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 red onion sliced
- 8 mushrooms sliced
- 60 g mature cheddar grated
- 60 g spinach
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon butter
- fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Combine 50 g Plain flour and 1 pinch Sea salt in a large bowl. Make a well and crack in 1 Egg and pour in 150 ml Skimmed milk and 1 tablespoon Sunflower Oil.
- Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon Butter in a frying pan and add 1 Red onion. Fry until soft.
- Add 8 Mushrooms and 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar and cook until it has reduced.
- Add 60 g Spinach and wilt and set aside.
- Wipe a frying pan with oiled kitchen paper and heat over a moderate heat. Ladle the batter into the centre of the pan and tilt the pan so the batter spreads thinly around the pan. Cook undisturbed for 30 seconds.
- Flip the pancake and heat the other side for 30 seconds. Once cooked, put the pancake on a plate and cover with foil to keep it warm. Repeat with all the remaining batter.
- Assemble the pancakes by adding a line of the onion mixture and then 60 g Mature cheddar and some Fresh parsley. Fold and serve.

Notes
- Make sure you pour only a very thin layer of batter in to the pan. These are meant to be thin, light and delicate crepe type pancakes. Too much batter would make them stodgy.
- You can freeze these pancakes for up to 3 months. Make sure to put a layer of baking paper between each pancake though, to stop them from sticking.
- Make sure your pan is heated, but not so hot that it is smoking otherwise the pancakes will burn. It's best to brush the pan with oil, so it gets a light coating of oil.
