Pancakes are great and most people love them.
But a lot of people shy away from eating them because they can be quite calorific (especially when topped with all the sweet things you can find in your cupboard and fridge).
But, thanks to BBC GoodFood, we’ve got a solution for you; a recipe for healthy pancakes.
Ingredients
- 150ml skimmed milk
- berries and low-fat yogurt or fromage frais to serve
- 50g self-raising flour
- 50g wholemeal or wholegrain flour
- 2 small eggs, separated
Method
- Sift the flours into a bowl or wide jug and tip any bits in the sieve back into the bowl. Add the egg yolks and a splash of milk then stir to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk a little at a time so you don’t make lumps in the batter.
- Whisk the egg whites until they stand up in stiff peaks, then fold them carefully into the batter – try not to squash out all the air.
- Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and pour in enough batter to make a pancake about 10 cm across. Cook for just under a minute until bubbles begin to pop on the surface and the edges are looking a little dry. Carefully turn the pancake over. If it is a bit wet on top, it may squirt out a little batter as you do so. In that case, leave it on the other side a little longer. Keep warm while you make the remaining pancakes. Serve with your favourite healthy toppings.
