Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Sift 1 cup of self-raising flour and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. In a separate jug, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 beaten egg. Gradually pour this mixture into the flour, stirring gently. Fold in 1 cup of grated mature Cheddar and chopped chives until smooth.
  2. In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat until the butter melts completely.
  3. Drop about 1 tablespoon of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook another 2-2.5 minutes until golden.
  4. Transfer pancakes onto a clean tea towel to keep warm. Wrap loosely to trap heat and moisture.
  5. Serve warm, stacked on a plate with a pat of butter or extra cheese on top.
