- 200g/7oz self-raising flour
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 2 free-range eggs
- 150ml/5fl oz milk
- 25g/1oz butter
- 150ml/5fl oz double cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 2 tbsp brandy
- 55g/2oz dark chocolate, melted, to serve
- Sift the flour and icing sugar together into a large bowl and crack in the eggs. Mix well, using a whisk, while slowly pouring in the milk until the mixture becomes a smooth batter, the consistency of double cream – you may not need all the milk.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan and pour in a ladle of the batter, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly. Fry for one minute until golden-brown on one side, then turn over and fry for another minute until golden-brown on both sides. Repeat until you have used up all of the batter.
- In a bowl, whip the cream together with the icing sugar and brandy until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl.
- To serve, fold the pancake into quarters and drizzle over the melted chocolate. Spoon the whipped brandy cream onto the side and serve.
