DAILY DINNERS

To make the pancakes:

1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.

2. Put the flour, eggs milk and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter. Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.

3. Set a medium frying pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe it with some oiled kitchen paper. When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go. Once cold, you can layer the pancakes between baking parchment.

For the streudels

1. Heat the butter and sugar in a frying pan, stirring until dissolved. Toss in the apples and cook, stirring gently, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the pecan nuts and let them brown a little.

2. Remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and the lemon juice. Spoon some filling into the centre of each pancake.

3. Fold two sides of the pancake into the centre to overlap over the filling slightly. Bring the third side over, then flip the whole pancake over to make a square pouch. Cut in half diagonally and serve with a generous sprinkling of icing sugar.
