Get ready for Pancake Tuesday on 28th February with this deliciously decadent dessert
Recipe Steps
- Sieve flour, cacao powder and salt into a bowl. Stir in the sugar.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour, break in the egg and add about a third of the milk. Beat well, gradually pouring in the rest of the milk and drawing in the flour to make a smooth batter.
- Pour batter into a jug, cover and allow to stand for about 30 minutes.
- Brush a pancake pan or frying pan with oil. When pan is hot, give batter a stir before pouring a thin layer onto pan.
- Fry until browned on base and bubbling on top, then turn and cook the other side. Repeat until batter is used up. Serve with your favourite toppings.
Note
For a decadent dessert, spread with melted chocolate or chocolate spread, and top with fresh raspberries and a dollop of Greek yoghurt or crème fraîche.
