Method

step 1

Tip the defrosted spinach onto a sheet of kitchen paper and squeeze to remove any excess water.
step 2

Put the flour and baking powder in a bowl with ¼ tsp salt. Gradually whisk in the egg and milk. Stir in the spinach, parmesan, spring onions and jalepeños. Season with pepper.
step 3

Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan, then drop heaped tbsp of the mixture into the pan (you will need to do in batches, depending on the size of the pan). Cook for 3-4 mins until the underside is golden, then flip and cook on the other side. Serve warm topped with an egg and some crispy chilli.
