For a grown up take on a classic Shrove Tuesday recipe try these tasty prosecco pancakes and you'll find a new favourite dessert that will really impress your guests – particularly the ones that love a glass of bubbles!

Method
- To make the pancakes. In a bowl, mix the plain flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
- Make a well in the middle of the mixture. Add in the carton of buttermilk and prosecco.
- Break in the eggs and then beat the mixture until it is smooth. Leave the mixture to rest for 1 hour.
- When the mixture is ready, pour a small scoop of the batter into a hot, buttered pan and cook both sides of the pancake – move it to one side and repeat until you've used all of the mixture.
- To make the syrup: Add the sugar to the prosecco in a pan and heat on a medium hob for around 3 minutes, until it becomes syrupy. Stack the pancakes on a plate, and top them with clotted cream and berries. To finish, pour over the syrup.
