Method

  • step 1

    Mix the flour, baking powder, rosemary and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Beat the egg with the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk in the milk mixture and melted butter to make a thick, smooth batter. Place in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  • step 2

    Over a medium heat, add a knob of butter and 1 tsp oil to a large pan, then add the butternut squash and cook for 10 mins until tender, turning the heat up for the final few mins to brown a little. Remove batter from the fridge, add the goat’s cheese and squash, then carefully fold everything together.

  • step 3

    Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan, then, in batches, add a ladleful of batter per pancake. Allow to cook for 3 mins until bubbles cover the surface, then flip over and cook the other side until golden. Serve with dressed rocket salad, a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds and onion chutney on the side.

Loved them. Personally I think the ratios are a bit off. Next time I will use more squash the flour. I had it with double the amount of goats cheese and with mango chutney and they were amazing.

To add to my previous comment, also use the seeds from the squash and toast them rather than buying pumpkin seeds separately. The crunch is definitely needed and adds depth. Top with a poached egg and balsamic vinegar on the salad leaves to cut through the saltiness. Lovely.

Really lovely, although make sure you fry the fritters on a low heat after browning them slightly to cook the batter all the way through.

I found it was rather underwhelming as the goats cheese and squash were almost lost in it. Needed more seasoning possibly too and rosemary. If I made it again I would add more goats cheese or possibly try with feta like the comments have suggested below.

Made with feta instead of goats cheese. And just roasted the butternut squash in the oven. Very quick, easy and tasty. Agree needs the addition of something moist so served with poached eggs which did the trick and a side salad. Will make again.
