Step 1
Put all the ingredients except the chard, oil and your flavouring in a food processor and blitz to make a batter. Add the chard and blitz for a few seconds more. -
Step 2
Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in your flavouring. -
Step 3
Heat a little oil in a small non-stick frying pan. Cook the pancakes in batches, adding a good ladle of the batter to the pan each time (or make a few little ones in the same pan). Even the mixture out and fry on both sides until golden. Keep warm in a low oven; put a layer of greaseproof paper between each pancake to stop them sticking together. They will be a slightly different texture to ordinary pancakes.
