We have been having sweet pancakes with chestnut flour as a base and Anna has been challenging me to come up with a savoury alternative.  We had some delicious savoury pancakes for breakfast this morning and it’s worth trying if you are tired of sweet pancakes.

What do I need to make it?

• 1 cup chestnut flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 3 small green  chillies chopped
• 1 small shallot finely chopped
• Handful grated Cheddar cheese
• Handful grated Red Leicester cheese
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Butter to cook
• Salt and pepper to taste

How many will I make?

6-8 depending on size

How do I make it?

Use a whisk to mix the flour, egg and milk.   Once blended add the onions, chopped chilli and cheeses with a pinch of salt and pepper.  Heat a frying pan and add a knob of butter, pour in a ladle of batter and cook on both sides to a nice golden brown colour.   Enjoy on its own – we want to try it with some chilli jam or Thai sweet chilli sauce next time.
