TIP
The key to these pancakes
lies in the seasoning, but if
you’re trying to cut down on
salt, use other spices such as cumin
or caraway seeds to add flavour.
- 3 medium free-range eggs
- 150ml whole milk
- 90g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp aleppo pepper or
smoked paprika - 300g brussels sprouts,
shredded - Grated zest and juice ½ lemon,
plus wedges to serve - Sunflower oil for frying
- 6 tbsp crème fraîche (use half
fat if you prefer) - 2 tsp dijon mustard
- Small handful finely chopped
fresh dill, plus extra to serve - 8 thin slices smoked salmon
1 In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs
with the milk, flour, baking powder
and aleppo pepper/paprika, then
stir in the sprouts and lemon zest.
2 Heat a large frying pan over a
medium heat with a splash of oil.
Working in batches, spoon a small
ladleful of mixture for each pancake
into the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on
each side until golden brown. Keep
warm in a low oven while you cook
the rest of the mix, adding
more oil if necessary.
3 Mix the crème fraîche,
mustard, lemon juice and dill
in a small bowl, then season to taste
(see tip). Serve the pancakes with the
dill sauce and smoked salmon, extra
dill and lemon wedges for squeezing.
