Ingredients

For the batter

  • 2 small eggs
  • 115g/4oz Homepride Plain Flour

  • 75ml/3floz water

For the filling

  • 150g spinach, boiled with the water squeezed out
  • 150g ricotta
  • Pinch of grated nutmeg

Method

1. This is a one bowl wonder! Simply beat the eggs in a bowl, add the flour then gradually mix in the water and milk until you have a smooth batter.

2. Put a pan on the heat and drizzle in a small amount of oil.

3. Use a ladle to spoon approximately 2tbsp of batter into the hot pan in one go. Then tip the pan around from side to side so the batter is spread evenly around the pan.

4. Flip the pancake one or two times to make sure its golden brown and crispy.

5. To serve, mix the spinach, ricotta and nutmeg together and add to the middle of each pancake and fold over each of the sides.
