Tiganites, Greek pancakes with yogurt

Everyone's tried the traditional sugar and lemon pancakes, so why not give this Shrove Tuesday a Greek flavour instead?

• Preparation: 10 mins
• Cooking: 20 mins
• Serves: 8

What you need:

• 225g/8oz plain flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 45ml/3tbsp Greek honey
• 150ml/1/4pt Greek yogurt
• 2 large British Lion eggs
• 100m/4floz water
• olive oil for frying
• Greek yogurt, honey and walnuts to serve

What you do:

1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the honey, yogurt and eggs and beat well until a thick, smooth batter forms. Add the water and beat again until you have a batter the consistency of thin cream
2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan until hot, drizzle a little oil over the centre and wipe around the pan with a piece of kitchen paper. Add three or four spoonfuls of the mixture to the pan and cook over a medium heat for 6-8mins, turning over once until the pancakes are golden brown
