Ingredients

2 tsp rapeseed oil
1 leek, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
150ml semi-skimmed milk
100g wholemeal flour
50g reduced-fat mature Cheddar cheese, finely diced
pinch pepper

Method

Step 1

Add 1 tsp of the oil to a saucepan over a low to medium heat, then add the leek. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring regularly until the leek has softened, then remove from the heat.

Step 2

Beat the egg into the milk, then place the flour in a bowl and gradually stir in the milk mixture until smooth. Next, add the cheese and leek. Mix well. Season with the pepper.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan. Add the remaining oil and wipe it around the pan with kitchen paper, then add 1 tbsp of the mixture.

Step 4

Cook for 2 minutes, then flip over with a spatula and cook for another minute or two on the other side. The pancakes should be about 8cm in diameter and only 3–4mm thick. You should be able to cook 2 or 3 in a large pan at the same time.
