The Griffin

From Strip Bar & Steak, London Arminas ‘Junior’ Girtavicius is heading up the bar using some unusual techniques, (popcorn infused vodka, American pancake infused Amaretto, custard vanilla foams, etc.). The menu is a nice mix of very well executed classics, peppered with some bonkers Americana.

Recipe

50ml of pancake infused amaretto

30ml fresh lemon juice

10ml maple syrup

10ml egg white

2 dashes of Angostura bitters

Rum butter pancakes

Serves 12

Ingredients

6oz butter

4oz sifted icing sugar

3tbsp dark rum

8oz plain flour

Pinch of salt

2 eggs

¾ pint milk

¼ pink freshly squeezed orange juice

Oil for frying

Soft brown butter

Recipe

Soften the butter and beat in the sifted icing sugar and the dark rum. Put in a covered container and chill until needed.

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre, drop in the eggs and beat them into the flour with a little of the milk to give a thick, smooth cream. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk and the orange juice. Leave the batter to stand, covered in a cool place, for at least one hour.

To cook the pancakes, heat a little oil in a pan. Add just enough batter to cover the base of the pain and cook until lightly golden and set on the underside.

Using a lightly greased pan, continue until you have about 12 pancakes.

Keep the cooked pancakes warm between two clean teatowels as you cook the others.

Put a spoonful of chilled rum butter onto each pancakes and fold into triangles.

Arrange on a serving platter, scatter over the brown sugar and serve immediately.

Spelt Flour Pancakes With Rhubarb And Cardamom

Serves6

Ingredients

125g Bacheldre Stoneground Spelt Flour

1 egg

300ml semi-skimmed milk

400g rhubarb, cut into 3cm lengths

2 cardamom pods, lightly crushed

2 tbsp golden caster sugar

50g butter, melted

Method

Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack the egg into the well and whisk the mixture together, incorporating all the flour into the egg. Gradually add the milk, whisking until you have a smooth batter. Cover and set aside.

Place the rhubarb in a small pan with the cardamom pods, sugar and 50ml cold water. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, to dissolve the sugar, then simme for 4-5 minutes, until the rhubarb is tender. Remove from the heat, discard the cardamom pods and keep the rhubarb warm.

Heat a little of the butter in a 20cm crêpe pan or small non-stick frying pan. Add a small ladleful of the batter and swirl around to coat the base of the pan. Cook over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture has just set underneath, then flip over and cook for a further minute. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 6 pancakes, keeping the cooked pancakes warm on a covered plate.

Fold the pancakes into quarters and spoon the rhubarb mixture over. Serve with a dollop of fromage frais.
