Ingredients

FOR THE PASSION FRUIT COULIS

2 passion fruits
15 g caster sugar

FOR THE PANCAKES (recipe makes 6 pancakes)

3 medium eggs, separated
1 Tbsp. milk
50 g cornflour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
30 g caster sugar
vegetable oil, to brush

to serve, optional

Greek yogurt

Directions

1. Step 1For the coulis, halve the passion fruits and scoop the flesh into a small pan. Add the sugar and heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bubble for 3-5min until thickened. Set aside.
2. Step 2For the pancakes, in a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and milk until combined, then whisk in the cornflour and baking powder until smooth (the mixture will be very thick).
3. Step 3In a separate bowl (using a clean whisk or beaters), beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar, bringing up to stiff peaks after each addition. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold the egg whites into the flour mixture 1/3 at a time, trying to keep in as much air as possible.
4. Step 4Heat a large non-stick frying pan (that has a lid) over low-medium heat and lightly brush with oil. Gently dollop 2 heaped dessert spoonfuls of batter on top of each other to make a tall pancake about 7cm wide. Repeat to make 2 more pancakes, spacing apart. Cover with the lid and cook for 5min, or until the lower edges are set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for 2min with the lid on.
5. Step 5Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat to cook 3 more pancakes.
6. Step 6Serve the pancakes with the passion fruit coulis and Greek yogurt, if you like.
