Instructions: Make the pancakes by gently heating the chocolate in the milk until melted.

Pour the liquid into a blender or food processor, add the remaining batter ingredients then process until smooth; or the batter may be made in a bowl with a whisk but beat hard to ensure a light mixture.

Heat the pan with a little oil. Pour in just enough batter to cover the base thinly, pouring off any excess. Cook the pancake until nicely browned then flip over and cook the other side. Repeat the process to make 8-10. These can be made up to a day in advance if required.

Whisk together the yoghurt, cream and cinnamon until thick. Drain the pears reserving the juice, chop the fruit then fold into the cream. In a pan, blend the corn flour with the fruit juice. Add the golden syrup, butter and sugar; heat slowly, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the milk and essence and continue stirring whilst heating again until just beginning to boil. Off the heat, stir in the chocolate until smooth.

Fold each pancake into 4. Fill each one with the cream and pears. Serve with the warm sauce.

NOTES : Makes 8-10.
