Ingredients
200g/7oz frozen garden peas
4 slices bread, toasted
4 tbsp cream cheese
4 tbsp pesto
4 free-range eggs
dried chilli flakes or paprika, to garnish

Put the peas in a heatproof bowl, cover with just-boiled water and leave to stand for 3 minutes.

We have a glorious list of delicious pancake recipes, whether you enjoy them on Pancake Day or you're a regular on Saturday morning. The humble pancake is made from a batter of milk (or milk and water), eggs and flour which is then cooked in a frying pan or on a griddle until golden brown on both sides. You can buy special pancake pans which are shallow and non-stick with curved sides. French pancakes are made slightly thinner and are called crêpes. Scotch pancakes are small and thick, usually cooked on a griddle and sometimes flavoured with sultanas or raisins. American pancakes are normally served at breakfast. They tend to be light and fluffy, served in generous stacks with bacon and maple syrup. There is also the Russian blini, Chinese pancakes served with Peking duck, Italian crespelle and so on. Pancakes are traditionally eaten in the UK on Shrove Tuesday.

What's the secret to making the perfect pancakes? Trust Delia Smith to show you and enjoy Pancake Day without any flops. Delia's method uses milk and water for really thin, lacy edges. With added melted butter for flavour, these thin British pancakes taste best with drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with crunchy, granulated sugar.

Each pancake (without topping) provides 88kcal, 7.5g carbohydrates (of which 0.9g sugars), 5g fat (of which 2g saturates), 0.4g fibre and 0.2g salt.
