This Shrove Tuesday, indulge in these delightful Parma Ham savoury pancakes. Simply spread your homemade pancakes with ricotta cheese and top with rocket leaves, pine nuts, pesto and a slice of Parma Ham.

Ingredients:

1 egg

300ml milk

1 tsp vegetable oil

100g wholemeal plain flour

Salt and cracked black pepper

Butter, to grease

180g ricotta

50g rocket

30g pine nuts, toasted

3 tbsp pesto

6 slices Parma Ham

Method:

1. Blend together the batter ingredients, then leave to rest for 30 minutes.

2. Heat a large frying pan and add a little butter to grease the base. Pour small ladles of batter into the pan, tilting it to give a thin yet even layer of batter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the pancake can easily be turned over. Flip the pancake and continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes until browned. Repeat to use the remaining mixture.

3. Spread a little ricotta over each pancake then top with rocket leaves, pine nuts, pesto and a slice of Parma Ham.
