When skiing in the States, breakfast can really get your day off to a slow start; being able to resist a mountain of scotch pancakes has always been a problem for me! At least the carbo-loading means you can then ski non-stop ‘til sunset without needing to refuel.

- Crack the eggs into the well and start to blend with the dry ingredients
- Slowly add milk until all the dry ingredients are wet
- Add more milk and start to whisk the mixture
- Continue to add milk and whisk until you have a thick batter consistency
- Melt a knob of butter in a heavy frying pan
- Add 3-4 large spoonfuls (50-100ml) of batter to the pan to create 3-4 pancakes
