Prep Time 10 mins Cook Time 20 mins Total Time 30 mins Servings: 16

Ingredients

Servings

• 200 g self-raising flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 250 ml milk

• 1 egg

• 110 g mature cheddar cheese, coarsely grated

• 40 g Parmesan cheese, finely grated

• 10-15 g fresh chives, finely chopped

• 10 g butter + 1 tsp oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Sift the self-raising flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2. Whisk the milk and egg together in a jug until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the flour, whisking to form a smooth batter.
4. Gently fold in the grated cheddar, Parmesan, and chopped chives.
5. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter with the oil.
6. Test the heat by letting a small drop of batter sizzle in the pan. Adjust as needed.
7. Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the pan for each pancake, leaving space to spread.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear around the edges, then flip and cook for another 2-2½ minutes until golden.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between batches.
10. Serve warm with a dab of butter or extra cheese, if desired.

Note

For the best texture, avoid overmixing the batter. These pancakes store well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for later use. Reheat in a microwave to keep them fluffy.
