Method
- Make up your pancake batter.
- Beat each escallop between sheets of clingfilm using a rolling pin until it’s flattened by a third. Cover in flour then dust off the excess.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. In batches, dip the escallops in the batter, set in the frying pan, and pour over a little extra batter.
- Cook for 5-6 mins on each side or until browned and cooked through.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter with the oil, add the lemon juice, and bubble for 30 seconds then add the shallot and gherkin pieces and the parsley. Heat for another 20 seconds, season well, and pour over the escallops. Serve immediately.
