Ingredients

  • 125g/4½ plain flour
  • 15g/½oz caster sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 medium free-range eggs
  • 350ml/12fl oz full-fat milk
  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • , for frying butter
  • 8 large free-range egg yolks
  • 120g/4½oz caster sugar
  • 160ml/5½fl oz mango juice
  • 110ml/3½fl oz passion fruit juice
  • 250g/9oz unsalted butter
  • fresh pineapple
  • fresh mint
  • dusting of icing sugar

Instructions

  • For the pancakes, combine the flour, sugar and salt together, then mix in the eggs with a whisk. Add the milk gradually to avoid any lumps, then stir in the toasted coconut. Leave to rest while you make the curd.
  • To make the curd, whisk the eggs, sugar, mango and passion fruit juices together in a saucepan. Place over a medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture thickens - do not boil. Whisk in the butter, cut into small pieces. Cover and leave to cool.
  • To cook the pancakes, add a smear of melted butter to a non-stick pan and ladle in some batter, swirling around to coat the pan - it might take one or two test pancakes before you’ve got the amount of batter just right. Cook each pancake on both sides until golden-brown and then remove to a plate while you cook the next pancake.
  • To assemble, spread each pancake with the fruit curd and then roll up into cigars. Serve with fresh pineapple, mint leaves and a dusting of icing sugar.
