Serves
2-4
Ingredients:
- 125g Plain Flour,
- 150ml Milk,
- 1 Large Egg, beaten
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 Taste of the lake, Duck Confit Legs
- Soft Leaves, such as spinach or rocket
- Rhubarb Jam, or blackberry, cherry, plum or cranberry
- Handful of Cornichons
- Honey Mustard Sauce
Method:
- To make the pancakes, add the flour and salt to a large bowl. Combine the milk and egg and gradually add the milk to the flour, whisking as you go. Whisk together until you have a smooth batter. You want the batter to be roughly the consistency of thick, double cream. If you feel the batter is too thick – add some milk.
- Cover the bowl and leave the batter to rest in the fridge until ready to use.
- Lightly oil a small frying pan with groundnut oil or duck fat, and place over a high-heat. Once hot, add about a ladle of batter to the pan and spread out over the pan with a rubber spatula. These are small pancakes and you want each one to be about 15cm in diameter. Again, if you feel like the batter is too thick, add a little milk.
- Once the pancake looks to be set and the edges are just starting to crisp, flip over. Cook for a further minute until fully cooked through on both sides.
- Repeat until the batter is used up. You should have about 8 pancakes.
- Keep warm until ready to serve
- To cook the duck, pan-fry for a few minutes until crisp-skinned and hot.
- Serve with your filling of choice and enjoy!
