Method
- Preheat the oven to 230°C (210°C fan forced). Place a medium ovenproof frying pan (approx. 24cm) in the oven and allow to pre-heat for approx. 20-30 minutes.
- Blend the eggs with a stab blender in a jug for 1 minute or until very frothy. Add the milk and flour and season to taste (if going for a savoury pancake), process for a further 30 seconds.
- Carefully remove frying pan from oven, add butter and swirl pan quickly to coat. Add the batter quickly to pan and return to oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pancake is puffed and browned around edges. Serve immediately topped with filling ingredients as it will start to deflate once removed from oven.
- Meanwhile, prepare Smoked Trout and Leek filling ingredients. Heat a small frypan over medium heat, add butter to pan with leeks and sauté for 5 minutes or until soft. Top pancake with leeks, baby spinach, trout, sour cream and dill sprigs. Or, your flavourings of choice.
