Wipe a non-stick frying pan with a little sunflower oil and warm over a medium heat. Spoon 2-3 pancakes into the pan at a time and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side before flipping. Repeat until you’ve used up all the batter (keep the first batches warm in a low oven if you like) then serve immediately with the pickle, and some coriander and salad leaves.
