Piklets

Piklets are a sort of savoury pancake.

As long as you have a small non-stick frying pan, there’s no reason you can’t make them on the road for a tasty and cheap vegetarian supper. This recipe is for a mediterranean version of piklets but you could try endless variations.

• 5 large tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp grated parmesan
• freshly chopped herbs (basil, parsley, coriander – your choice)
• salt and pepper

Mix the flour and baking powder together and season with a little salt and pepper. Add in the tomatoes and chopped herbs.

Whisk the egg, milk and oil together and stir into the flour mixture until smooth. You can add a little more milk or oil if you think it’s too thick.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter on a hot, non-stick frying pan. Turn when bubbles appear on the surface and the underside is slightly browned.

Serve with a salad.
