Ingredients

150g self-raising flour

½ tsp baking powder

½ tbsp golden caster sugar

1 egg , beaten

½ tbsp maple syrup , plus extra to serve

150ml full-fat milk or semi-skimmed milk

vegetable oil , for frying

a few drops red food colouring

icing sugar , for dusting

2 squeezy bottles

Method

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Combine the wet ingredients in a jug and gradually pour into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

Put 2 tbsp of the batter in a small bowl and mix in a few drops of red food colouring. Transfer to a squeezy bottle.

Put 1/3 of the remaining batter into the other squeezy bottle, and the remaining 2/3 into a jug.

Gently heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan. Squeeze some batter into an outline of Rudolph, drawing two holes for eyes. Fill the rest with batter from the jug. Make a nose using the coloured batter. Cook for 1-2 mins, flip and cook for 1 min more. Repeat to make four pancakes. Serve with icing sugar and maple syrup.
