Ingredients

125g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tbsp sugar (any kind)
2 eggs
1 tbsp melted butter, plus extra for frying
100ml milk
50g baby spinach leaves, washed and chopped
berries and maple syrup, to serve

Method

Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, butter, milk and spinach in a blender and whizz until you get a smooth, bright green batter.
Heat a little more butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add small dollops to the pan, 2-3 at a time. Cook for 2 mins until the edges are set, and bubbles are rising to the surface, then flip and cook for 1-2 mins more. Keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.
Serve with berries and a drizzle of syrup to serve.
