Feb 5 2010 By Sadie Parker of the National Trust
For the best pancakes, try Gibside’s simple recipe using North East produce with a Northumberland cheese and celery filling. The recipe is simple to follow and all the family can get involved.
Ingredients
100g plain flour
1 egg
125ml milk
125ml water
Pinch of salt
For the filling
200g cheese
100g celery
45ml mayonnaise
150g ham
Method
Pancakes:
Make a well in the flour and salt.
Add egg and milky water, beat until smooth.
Put a ladleful into a hot, lightly oiled frying pan.
Cook for a couple of minutes until set, toss and cook the other side.
Continue with the rest of the batter and enjoy!
Serve with a side salad.
Filling:
Mix the cooked ham with grated cheese and chopped celery with the mayonnaise.
Roll the filling into the pancake.
Place on a greased baking tray and cook at 200C for 10 minutes.
Local food
You can make this recipe using local produce available from your local farm shop.
For the filling, the Northumberland Cheese Company at Blagdon sells fantastic cheeses in lots of flavours.
