Rustle up these green pancakes for a Halloween party or special treat. Spinach is the secret ingredient for this month's recipe, and kids can decorate them with fruit monster faces
Ingredients
- 225g self-raising flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter, plus extra for frying
- 175ml milk
- 75g baby spinach leaves, chopped bananas, kiwi, blueberries and maple syrup, to serve (optional)
Steps
- Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, and spinach in a blender and whizz until smooth and bright green.
- Melt a little butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spoon in small dollops of batter (you can cook two or three pancakes at a time). Cook for 2 mins until the edges are set and bubbles rise to the surface, then flip and cook for 1-2 mins more. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- Decorate the pancakes with googly fruit eyes (slices of banana and kiwi with blueberry pupils work well) and pointy banana teeth to serve. Serve with maple syrup, if you like.
