• 4tbsp sugar
• 1 free-range egg
• Can of ready to drink G&T
• 3tbsp nice Scottish Gin (plus a little for your accompanying G&T)
• 50ml full-fat milk
• 200g self-raising flour
• A teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
• A spoonful of butter or oil

How to make

1. Using a veg peeler, peel the zest from a lemon and roll it around a straw or stick. Repeat with lime zest, then set aside.
2. To make the gin and tonic syrup, squeeze the lemon and lime juice into a pan, then add the sugar and gin. Boil for 3 minutes.
3. Put the flour and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and break in the egg. Whisk together with the can of G+T until smooth.
4. Melt the butter in a pan and spoon in the pancake mixture in little circles. Heat until the pancakes are a lovely golden brown.
5. Make a stack of pancakes and drizzle the gin and tonic syrup over the top, before garnishing with your curled zest.
6. Enjoy!
