Jamie Oliver’s One-Cup Pancakes

Jamie Oliver‘s simple one-cup pancakes recipe allows you to create sweet or savoury variations based on your mood.  Flavour with vanilla and top with fruit, yoghurt, seeds and honey for a sweeter start to the day, or fold feta into the batter and top your pancakes with cottage cheese or sour cream and some lemon-dressed rocket if today is a savoury breakfast kind of day.

Introduction

Pancakes allow you to have a bit of fun – they’re a wonderful vehicle for additional flavour, and a great way to try a whole rainbow of fruits and veggies, for both kids and adults alike. Plus, by introducing a savoury option, you can enjoy pancakes for brekkie, brunch, lunch or dinner! Just grab a mug, use it to measure both the flour and the milk, add an egg, mix and go!

Ingredients

1 mug of wholemeal self-raising flour
1 mug of semi-skimmed milk or your favourite unsweetened, fortified plant milk
1 large egg
For sweet pancakes:
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
For savoury pancakes:
50g crumbled feta cheese

Method

Put all the ingredients into a large bowl with a small pinch of sea salt (for fatter, fluffier pancakes use a heaped mug of flour) and whisk well, adding the extra sweet or savoury ingredient, if you wish.

Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Spritz with olive oil, then go in with a few separate tablespoons of batter. Add your chosen fruit or veg to each (turn the page for inspo), then, once golden on the base, gently flip over, until lightly golden on the fruit or veg side, too. Serve, and repeat!

Keeping it sweet? A dollop of yoghurt, a sprinkling of your favourite unsalted nuts and seeds, and a little runny honey, to taste, will always work a treat on the side.

Going savoury? A spoonful of cottage cheese or soured cream over the top and a handful of lemony-dressed rocket will complete your plate nicely.
