Instructions
  1. Measure flour into bowl and add remaining ingredients keeping back half the milk. Mix with a balloon whisk until smooth then whisk in remaining milk. It should be a smooth quite runny batter.
  2. Place in lined individual ovenproof dishes - a circle of baking parchment to line the dish allows the pancake combo to slip easily onto a plate. Bake for 15-20minutes in a very hot preheated oven 220C.
  3. Poach an egg per person in readiness for the finished dish.
  4. Remove pancake dishes from oven when well risen and set. Top with flaked fish, drizzle with a little honey and finish with poached egg and a twist of black pepper.
