Recipe

3 eggs
500ml milk
1 cup plain yoghurt
3 cups self-raising flour
1/4 cup caster sugar

Mix the eggs, milk and yoghurt together in a bowl. Whisk till smooth. Add the flour and sugar and whisk again till smooth. The batter should be quite thick.

Heat a large frypan to a medium heat and lightly gease with spray or butter.
Drop large tablespoonfuls of batter on to pan. When bubbles appear at the edges, flip.

When cooked, layer in a stack with fresh fruit or compote – even bacon if you wish. Top with syrup or honey and a good dollop of mascarpone.
