Green eggs and ham

You picked this one from the Nigella Express book, to liven up a grey and chilly bank holiday. She's right - small children are unaccountably attracted to anything containing pesto, so it disappeared rather rapidly.

Makes 5 (large) pancakes. You'll need:

1 egg
75g pesto (I just used some from a jar, but I suspect the fresh stuff would be even better)
75g flour
150 ml milk
olive oil or butter for frying
5 slices of ham

Stick the egg, pesto, flour and milk in a measuring jug, and whisk the mixture until it's smooth (and any blobs of flour have disappeared).

Add a little olive oil or knob of butter to a frying pan, and heat until melted. Pour in 1/5th of the green batter, and swirl around so that the bottom of the pan is covered. Once the underside of the pancake is cooked (lift it up and check that it's nice and browned - it'll probably take 30-60 seconds), flip it over (trying not to deposit it on the floor via overenthusiastic flipping), and cook the other side for another 30-60 seconds.

Slide onto a plate, place a slice of ham on top, and roll/fold to your desired width/size.

We ate ours with a green salad (it seemed appropriate).
