Ingredients

• 60g self-raising flour
• 175g milk
• 1 egg
• Pinch of salt
• 200g macaroni
• 200g grated Cheddar
• 1 tsp mustard
• Oil or butter, to fry

Method

1. Cook your pasta, according to packet instructions and leave to cool.
2. Prepare your batter by measuring out the flour in a bowl and add the salt.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk and egg then add to the bowl of flour. Whisk to remove any lumps then add the mustard and a handful of cheese. Stir to combine.
4. Heat a little oil or butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Add a generous ladle of batter to the pan, swirl to spread and allow to cook on one side.
5. Before turning your pancake, drop a handful of cooked pasta onto the uncooked batter then cover with a handful of cheese. Carefully turn your pancake so the batter cooks and the cheese gets nice and crispy. Serve straight from the pan, crispy side up.
