Once you start experimenting with different flavours in pancake batter there’s no turning back.   We had some savoury pancakes for a lazy weekend breakfast and tried something different with some Thai 7 spice mix and some fresh herbs.   The pancakes tasted great on their own and with some sweet chilli sauce.

What do I need to make it?

• 1 cup chestnut flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp baking powders
• 1 1/2 tsp Thai 7 spice powder (we found this under the Schwartz brand)
• 1 clove of garlic minced
• 1 Thai red chillie chopped
• 2 sprigs of spring onion chopped
• Handful fresh coriander and basil chopped
• Salt to taste

How many will I make?

6-8 depending on size

How do I make it?

Place the chestnut flour, baking powder, milk and egg in a mixing bowl.  Whisk the ingredient till you get a medium consistency batter.  Add the remaining ingredients and give it a good stir.   Heat a frying pan and use a knob of butter to ensure pancake doesn’t stick to the pan.   Pour in a ladle of batter and cook on both sides till done.   Serve on it own or with sweet chilli sauce.
