1) First make the pancakes. Sift flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the center.

2) Pour in beaten egg and a little milk. Beat in gradually until smooth, adding remaining milk, little by little.

5) Continue until all batter is used up.

6) For the filling, heat 1oz./25g butter and fry apple and ginger slices until apple is just soft.

8) In another pan melt remaining butter and carefully add 2 or 3 filled pancakes-do this in batches.

9) Add a little Calvados and tilt pan to ignite. Add lemon juice and zest and a little ginger syrup from jar.

10) Drizzle over the sauce to serve.
