For the pancakes

  • 240g gluten-free self raising flour

Utensils

  • Step 1

    Combine the fruit mix in a small mixing bowl, then cover and set to one side for 30 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Prepare the cross mixture by mixing all of the ingredients into a small bowl until a thick paste has formed. Fill a disposable piping bag, twist and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Place all of the dry ingredients for the pancakes in a large mixing bowl, whisk until combined. Whisk in the egg, then gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, until smooth. Whisk in the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Fold in the mixed fruits.

  • Step 4

    Place the frying pan over a medium heat, let heat for a minute. Snip the end off of your piping bag to create a 0.5cm diameter hole.

  • Step 5

    Pour pancake batter into pan making 2 small-medium circles. Quickly pipe on the crosses. Cook the pancakes 1 1/2 to 2 minutes each side being sure to flip with a silicone spatula. Repeat until all of the batter has been used up.

  • Step 6

    Serve pancakes on with a little drizzle of honey or agave.
