Lea Harris, Food Writer and Great British Bake Off Contestant, has had a love of food since her father taught her to cook jam tarts at their huge, battered kitchen table when she was four. Half a century later, that passion hasn’t waned; she loves every aspect of cooking, baking and eating – from sourcing local ingredients to trying the more unusual delicacies the world has to offer.

We’re delighted that Lea is indulging her love of quality ingredients with Yester Farm Dairies to bring you a series of recipes using our products

Ingredients:

These pancakes can be sweet or savoury by adding whatever you fancy to the basic batter mix. I made lemon and blueberry, but you can add herbs, spices, cheese, grated courgettes … you get my drift!

200g Self-Raising Flour

1 large egg, beaten

1 heaped tablespoon Yester Farm Dairies Cheese

Grated zest of half a lemon

Milk

75g Blueberries

Method:

  • Tip flour into a bowl.

  • Add egg, cottage cheese and lemon zest, mix.

  • Add enough milk to make a soft but thick batter.

  • Fold in blueberries or whatever you fancy.

  • Lightly grease a heated griddle of heavy based frying pan.

  • Ladle in some batter to form pancakes that are about 3 inches in diameter.

  • Cook until the edges have set and bubbles are starting to form (about 2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook for the same amount of time.

  • Serve with whatever topping you like… I had mine with maple syrup and Yester Farm Dairies Greek Style Natural Yoghurt.
