This is a pancake recipe definitely just for grown ups! Omit the alcohol for a kiddie friendly version.
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
25g golden caster sugar
½ tsp baking powder
85g butter, melted and cooled
300g self-raising flour
200ml milk
To serve:
1 Jar of cherries in kirsch or brandy (or tinned cherries in syrup),
Cream
Beat the 3 eggs and the extra yolk together with the sugar and baking powder and add the butter. Beat the flour gradually into the egg mixture to make a batter, and then pour in the milk and leave to stand for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
Put a frying pan on a medium heat, add a knob of butter and melt. Put large spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook for about 3 minutes until bubbles form on top and the edges start to brown. Turn and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Keep the pancakes warm and repeat until all the batter is used.
Warm the cherries in a saucepan gently and then generously spoon over the pancakes and top with a big dollop of cream.
