Directions
- For the pancakes
- place the egg and egg yolk and flour into a bowl and mix together to form a paste.
- Gradually whisk in the milk
- and the tablespoon of sunflower oil to form a smooth batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan. Add a small amount of sunflower oil
- swill round to coat the base of the pan and tip out the excess.
- Pour some of the pancake mixture into centre of the pan and tip the pan in a circular motion to thinly coat the base. Cook the pancake until it sets
- and turns a light golden colour. Turn the pancake over with a palette knife
- and cook the other side for another minute
- or until golden.
- Tip out onto a plate and cover with a damp tea towel to prevent the pancake from drying out while you cook the rest of the pancakes.
- For the mushroom filling
- preheat the grill to its highest setting.
- Heat a frying pan until hot
- then add the olive oil
- onion
- bacon and thyme and fry for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
- For the blue cheese glaze
- place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend to form a smooth paste.
- To finish
- lay a pancake flat onto a clean flat surface. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the centre and top with a spoonful of cream. Roll the pancake up
- like a cigar
- then place into a serving dish
- and repeat with the second pancake.
- Spoon the Stilton glaze over the pancakes
- and place under the hot grill to cook until the blue cheese glaze is melted and golden brown.
- Serve in the dish at the table.
