Ingredients:
Cooking Instructions:
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl then add the salt and rum
- Beat lightly with a fork until the eggs and yolks are mixed and just a little froth beginning to appear
- Stir in the milk
- Put the butter in a 6-7 inch (15-17cms) heavy based frying or omelette pan and heat until it begins to ‘haze’
- Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan and keep shaking the pan while stirring the eggs with a fork as in making a scrambled egg mixture
- When the center of the omelette looks scrambled, leave the pan stationary for five to six seconds for the bottom to brown slightly
- Carefully fold the omelette in two and slip off the pan onto a plate
- Stuff the pancake with warmed mincemeat, pour over the brandy and set alight as it comes to the table
