These little pancakes are the perfect thing for a brunch with friends.  You can prep the batter in advance, and it only takes a few minutes, then make a huge batch, which cook really quickly because they are so little.  Then let your guests do the rest just provide them with some sliced parma ham, smoked salmon and a bowl of hot spicey mushrooms, depending on what they feel like they can assemble them themselves.

 

Savoury Breakfast Pancakes
Makes 24

Ingredients
–  200gms cake flour
–  large pinch salt
–  2 level tsp baking powder
–  2 large free range eggs
–  250ml milk
–  butter to fry

To make the batter, sieve the flour, salt and baking powder together.  Whisk the eggs and milk together.  Make a well in the centre and add the egg and milk mixture.  Whisk together thoroughly – allow to stand for at least 10-minutes.  Heat some butter in a heavy frying pan and add the mixture 1-tbsp at a time, once bubbles begin to appear, turn the pancake over and cook for a further minute until done.  Stack the pancakes to help keep them warm and repeat until all the batter is finished.

If you have a small gas burner that won’t look out of place on a table you can make the pancakes with your guests so that they are always hot and fresh, plus its actually fun!
