Picture

Ingredients:

  • 180ml milk
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 125g plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 30g butter, melted
  • Oil​

​Method:

  • Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to ‘sour’.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarb and salt in a large mixing bowl. 
  • Whisk egg and butter into soured milk. 
  • Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, and lightly coat with oil. Pour 4 tablespoons (60ml) of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side.
  • Chefs tips, serve warm with berry compote (I like to add a touch of vanilla in mine) and yoghurt, or bananas and chocolate sauce.

Eggs Florentine

By Restoration Yard’s Head Chef, Colin Halliday
Picture

Ingredients (for 1):

  • 2 potato scones
  • Couple of glugs of Scottish rapeseed oil
  • 2 cubes of unsalted butter 
  • 100g baby spinach
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 
  • 2 large, fresh free range eggs
  • About 50ml shop bought hollandaise sauce (we make our own at RY, but making it at home can be tricky and often wasteful).
  • Few pea shoots to garnis

​Method:

  • Wash and dry the spinach, removing any large stalks.
  • Heat the rapeseed oil in a frying pan, then once hot add the potato scones. Once they are coloured on one side, flip them over and add a knob of butter. This adds flavour and gives a nice golden colour.
  • While the potato scones are cooking, heat a saucepan, add the remaining butter and then the spinach. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • For perfect poached eggs, the fresher the eggs the better. Bring about four inches of water to the boil in a saucepan, add a couple of teaspoons of white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sea salt. Now turn it down to a simmer. 
  • Crack your eggs into ramekins as it’s easier to drop them in the water one after the other. Cook them for three minutes and you will achieve a set white with a runny yolk. 
  • Turn the potato scones out on to a clean j-cloth to absorb any excess fat then place on a warmed plate. Squeeze almost all of the buttery water from the spinach. Top with the warm eggs, spoon over the hollandaise sauce and finish with a couple of turns of black pepper and the pea shoots if so desired.​
