Liam Charles' Cadbury's Creme Egg Pancake Calzone Recipe

Serves: 8

For the pancake batter

100g plain flour

ÂĽ tsp fine sea salt

1 tbsp. of caster sugar

2 large eggs

300ml full fat milk

3 Cadbury Creme eggs

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Couple knobs of butter

A couple squiggles of vegetable oil

Filling

100g dark chocolate

3 Cadbury Creme eggs

Creme egg Sauce:

100g dark chocolate

2 Cadbury creme eggs

50g butter

250ml double cream

2 tbsp. caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

To finish

Icing sugar

Method

  1. For the pancake mix, sift the plain flour, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl and begin to mix with a whisk, then you want to make a little well right in the centre.
  2. Into that bowl now add your eggs and begin to mix until well combined.
  3. Once it’s all mixed together, you want to add the milk in a small stream but you want to mix at the same time, followed by vanilla extract and the inside of 3 Cadbury creme eggs. Your pancake mix is ready!
  4. Now make the filling, melt your creme eggs and dark chocolate in microwave or over a heatproof bowl with saucepan underneath on a gentle simmer. Once melted, put aside Cough go for the microwave cough.
  5. For the chocolate Creme Egg sauce, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, over simmering water. Occasionally stir until it’s completely melted.
  6. Then add the butter, double cream and caster sugar - you want to heat then stir into the melted chocolate.
  7. Pop in the Cadbury Creme eggs and begin to stir, the heat of the sauce will gradually melt the Creme eggs, just continue to stir until it’s nice and smooth.
  8. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to the side to cool.
  9. Now time to fry, prepare a small bowl of melted butter and vegetable oil, you are going to use this to grease the pan between each pancake.
  10. Bring your pan to medium heat, then give it a good brush of your buttery oily mixture
  11. Now use a ladle to pour your mixture into the frying pan. You just want enough to cover the base of the frying pan, then give the frying pan a good roll of the heat to ensure super clean edge.
  12. Once the pancake mix has stopped rolling pop in back on the heat and wait for it to cook. Shouldn’t be longer than a minute, SO BE ON THE WATCH. Brush the edges of pancake with egg wash, this will try to stop any oozing of the Creme egg, but we all like a bit of goo anyway.
  13. To check if your pancake is ready on one side, gently lift for a sneak peak, if its golden brown.
  14. Calzone TIME! Give your one side cooked pancake a super generous splatter of the melted Creme Egg filling on one side that’s facing you.
  15. Now instead of giving your pancake the infamous 180 flip, you want to give it that calzone fold. Lift your Creme Egg side and gently press into the other side forming a semi-circle. Allow to cook for couple more minutes.
  16. Place on a plate, repeat the process until all your mixture is used up.
  17. Once done, place the lot on a massive tray or plate, finish off with a little more melted Creme eggs, generous squiggles of your Creme egg chocolate sauce sprinkle with icing sugar then…..BAM, Enjoy.
