Smash Burger Pancakes

Ingredients:

– 1 egg, separated

– 75g plain flour

– 1 tsp baking powder

– 1 tbsp caster sugar

– 100ml milk

– 1 tbsp neutral-tasting oil

– 250g 15%-fat beef mince

– 2 slices American cheese or mild cheddar

– 30ml burger sauce

– 40g sliced gherkins

Method:

1. Beat the egg white to soft peaks using an electric whisk. Mix the egg yolk with the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the milk to form a smooth paste. Gently fold the whipped egg white into the yolk mixture.

2. Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon in a quarter of the pancake mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the edges are set and golden. Repeat to make three more pancakes, keeping them warm in a low oven.

3. In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over high heat. Divide the beef mince into two balls. Place one ball in the pan, then use a spatula to smash it down into a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and crispy, then flip and place a slice of cheese on top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second ball of mince.

4. Assemble the smash burger pancakes by layering a pancake, a cheesy beef patty, some burger sauce, sliced gherkins, and then another pancake. Repeat for the second burger.

5. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious smash burger pancakes!
