✅ Tips for the Best Savoury Pancakes

• Don't over mix the batter - lumpy batter makes thick fluffy pancakes.

• Use a sharp smoked cheese for maximum flavour (smoked cheddar or smoked monterey jack, and smoked gouda would be great).

• Make them mini for sharing platters or canapés.

• Add chopped herbs like chives for freshness.

❓ FAQs About Savoury Pancakes

Can I use a different cheese?

Absolutely. Any strong-flavoured cheese works, but smoked varieties add the best depth. Strong sharp cheddar os delicious.

How do I make them gluten-free?

Substitute the plain flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix.

Can I freeze these pancakes?

Absolutely! Infact we like to double the batch and then freeze half. Freeze them in single layers and then transfer to a freezer bag. Just pull them out when needed.

INGREDIENTS FOR SMOKED SAVOURY PANCAKES

METHOD for Making Smoked Cheese Savoury Pancakes

Add all of the ingredients (excluding the cheese) to a large mixing bowl and whisk together by hand until fully combined (you don't want a smooth batter, but instead a LUMPY batter).

Now add in the cheese and combine.

Preheat your frying pan. Once heated add some butter and a dash of olive oil and heat on a medium heat.

Once heated turn to a low heat and add a small ladle of the mixture, spread gently to shape and fry.

Once air bubbles appear on the surface it's time to flip.

Cook for approx 30 - 45 sseconds each side until golden (depends on the size of your pancakes).

Serve and enjoy!

We enjoy them with fried eggs and herded tomato slices.
