Ingredients

100g Asda Scottish Porridge Oats

115g Asda Wholemeal Bread Flour

5g Asda Easy Bake Yeast, around 1 tsp

½ tsp fine Sea Salt

½ tsp Caster Sugar

200ml Semi-skimmed Milk

175ml warm water

2–3 tsp Sunflower Oil, for frying

1 tbsp Sunflower Oil

250g Asda Mild & Versatile White Mushrooms, sliced

140g Asda Sweet & Fruity Baby Plum Tomatoes, halved

100g Asda Mild & Tender Spinach

100g Asda 40% Less Fat Salad Cheese

Method

1
Blitz the oats and flour in a food processor until finely ground. Add the yeast, salt, sugar and mix. Then, put the milk and 150ml water in a small pan. Warm gently until tepid, stirring occasionally – don’t let it get too hot.
2
With the motor running on the food processor, pour the warm milk and water mix onto the oats and blend until well combined. Pour into a bowl and set aside in a warm place for 30–40 mins, or until slightly risen and foamy. Stir 25ml warm water into the oat mix to make a frothy, pourable batter.
3
Brush a medium non-stick frying pan with oil and put on a medium-high heat. Once hot, remove from the hob and add a large ladleful, around 100ml, of batter. Tilt the pan and spread the batter, using the back of a metal spoon, to make a pancake.
4
Return the pan to the heat and cook the oatcake for 1–1½ mins, or until it looks bubbly and the surface is almost dry. Carefully flip over and cook on the other side until lightly browned. Slide the oatcake onto a warmed plate and cover with a clean tea towel to retain the heat. Repeat to make 3 more oatcakes, piling up on the same plate.
5
For the filling, heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and black pepper and stir-fry for 2 mins. Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 1 min or until they start to soften. Add the spinach and cook for 30 secs, stirring constantly.
6
Fill each pancake with the mushroom, tomato and spinach mix, crumble over the cheese, season with a little more pepper and serve.
