Ham & Tomato Pancake Pizza

Who doesn't love pizza? I know that my kids love it and I make it quite often, but there are those times when dinner time is fast approaching and I really can't be bothered to make a pasta base, even a quick one. Then I had a brainwave, what if you could use a pancake as a pizza base? Would it work? Pancakes take only a few minutes to whisk up and cook so if it worked it would be a perfect solution.

Do you know what? It worked, and it was from the fridge to table in 15 minutes - you couldn't even cook a frozen pizza in that time.

Ham & Tomato Pancake Pizza - makes two 10" pizzas

135g Plain flour
225ml milk
1 Egg
pinch of salt & pepper
Oil for frying
200g grated mozzarella

100g sun dried tomatoes, chopped

50g ham, chopped
fresh oregano

• Whisk the flour, milk and egg until smooth
• Season with salt & pepper
• Lightly oil a 10" frying pan or skillet
• Pour half of the mixture into the pan & swirl around to reach the edge of the pan
• Cook pancake on each side until lightly browned

• Whilst still in the pan sprinkle over half of the cheese, tomatoes and ham
• Top with oregano and place under a medium grill until the cheese is bubbling
• Serve immediately & repeat with the remaining pancake mixture & topping

I have entered this recipe in the Swallow Charity recipes for life challenge, which is in it's final month this month, based around the 3 ingredients of milk, eggs and flour.
