Ingredients
200g
spinach
Handful fresh mint, leaves picked
2
medium eggs
175ml
milk
40g
butter, melted, plus extra to fry
275g
self-raising flour
1Tbsp.
baking powder
150g
ricotta
100g
pea shoots
Directions
Step 1Whizz the spinach, mint, eggs, milk, butter and plenty of seasoning in a blender until smooth. Add flour and baking powder and whizz again (you may need to scrape down the sides once or twice, but the batter will come together). Set aside to rest for 5min.
Step 2Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and brush with a little butter. Working in batches, add large spoonfuls of batter (about 3tbsp each), spacing apart. Cook for 1-2min, until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2min until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate, cover and keep warm. Cook the remaining pancakes, wiping the pan with kitchen paper and re-buttering between batches.
Step 3Divide the pancakes between 4 plates. Top with the ricotta, pea shoots and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Serve.
