Antony says ‘make sure you cover up clothes, arms and hands and help children hold heavier pans. Cook the pancakes on the rear hobs to avoid any accidents while children are close by the oven.'

Antony's Perfect Pancake Batter

You will need

• 175g of flour
• 2 tsp of caster sugar
• 3 large free range eggs
• 150ml of milk
• 150ml of water 

Step 1: Sift 175g of flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt and 2tsp of caster sugar

Step 2: Add two large free range eggs and one egg yolk and beat to combine

Step 3: Mix 150ml of milk and 150ml of water and add this slowly, stirring until the batter is covered in bubbles

Step 4: Allow it to stand in a cold place for one hour. This will make six large pancakes.

Banana and Chocolate Fudge Sauce

• Mix together 115g of cream cheese, 150g Greek yoghurt and 2 tbsp of runny honey. Set aside.
• Beat 115g unsalted butter with 115g of light muscovado sugar and 25g of cocoa powder
• Place in a saucepan with 4 tbsp of golden syrup and 150ml of single cream. Over a medium heat, stir until it simmers and the sauce comes together
• Once the pancakes are cooked, spread over the yoghurt filling, add chopped banana slices and roll up the pancake. Then drizzle over the chocolate fudge sauce!
