Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 3 eggs
• 200ml buttermilk
• 300g flour
• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tbsp treacle
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Butter

Method

• Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and treacle in a bowl.
• Sieve the flour, baking soda, and caster sugar, then make a well in the centre.
• Add the wet mixture to the flour mix and whisk into a smooth batter. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
• Heat a buttered frying pan and drop tablespoons of the batter onto the pan.
• Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook for an additional minute.
• Cool on a wire rack, then serve immediately with your choice of toppings. I recommend lemon and sugar, maple syrup or chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.
