Cooking Instructions

Cook the swirl

Push two wooden skewers through each swirl in a cross to hold its shape. Pan-fry according to the pack instructions, turning carefully, until golden, sticky and cooked through. Keep warm.

Make the pancake batter

Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre, add the egg, milk and melted butter, and whisk to a thick, smooth batter.

Cook the pancakes

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with a little butter. Add a ladle of batter per pancake and cook for 2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat to make 6 pancakes.

Warm the syrup

Gently warm the maple syrup, raisins and a knob of butter in a small pan for 2 minutes until the raisins plump up.

To serve

Stack 3 pancakes on each warm plate, sit a swirl on top and pour over the warm maple syrup and raisins.

Tip

Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven, loosely covered with foil, while you cook the rest.

FAQs

Can I make the pancake batter the night before? Yes. Cover and refrigerate overnight, then give it a quick stir before cooking. It may be slightly less fluffy than freshly made batter.

Why use skewers on a sausage swirl? They hold the coil together so it keeps its shape and is easy to turn in the pan. Remove them before eating.

What else can I add to a sausage pancake stack? Fresh blueberries, sliced banana or a spoonful of Greek yoghurt all work well alongside the maple syrup.
