Ingredients:
1 egg, separated
75g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp caster sugar
100ml milk
1 tbsp neutral-tasting oil
250g 15%-fat beef mince
2 slices American cheese or mild cheddar
30ml burger sauce
40g sliced gherkins
Method:
Beat the egg white to soft peaks using an electric whisk. Mix the egg yolk with the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the milk to form a smooth paste. Gently fold the whipped egg white into the yolk mixture.
Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon in a quarter of the pancake mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the edges are set and golden. Repeat to make three more pancakes, keeping them warm in a low oven.
In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over high heat. Divide the beef mince into two balls. Place one ball in the pan, then use a spatula to smash it down into a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and crispy, then flip and place a slice of cheese on top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second ball of mince.
Assemble the smash burger pancakes by layering a pancake, a cheesy beef patty, some burger sauce, sliced gherkins, and then another pancake. Repeat for the second burger.
