3. In a 28x33 cm (11x13 inch) baking dish, put margarine and oil and place into pre-heated oven for 3 minutes, until margarine is melted.

Tips

• Decorating the pancake can be fun for the whole family! Experiment with different toppings such as Greek yogurt, granola, fruit and nut or seed butter.

• Instead of berries, add dried herbs to the blender with the batter. You can also sprinkle cheese on top when baked and return to the oven to melt for 1 minute.
