Directions

1 Heat a heavy-based frying pan and add the oats. Cook for a minute or two until toasted, tossing occasionally, tip out on to a plate and leave to cool a little.

2 Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Break in the eggs, pour in the milk and whisk to a thick batter. Stir in the toasted rolled oats.

3 Cook the pancake for a minute or so, flip over and cook for another 30 seconds or until lightly golden. Add to a plate and cover with a square of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Keep warm by wrapping in a tea towel.

4 Repeat this process until you have eight pancakes in total, lightly oiling the pan in between pancakes.

5 For the Butterscotch Sauce: Melt 85g/3oz butter in a small pan. Add the muscovado sugar and stir for two minutes until dissolved.

6 Add the cream and Drambuie. Simmer the sauce, reduce and cook for 2-3 minutes until thick and toffee-like.

7 For the Raspberry Coulis: Put 115g/4oz raspberries in a processor. Add a squeeze of lemon and enough icing sugar to sweeten. Puree and then sieve to remove the seeds. Pour into a jug and let down with water if necessary.

8 Set aside. Heat a wok or saute pan. Peel and slice the bananas and add the remaining butter to the pan. tip in the bananas. Sprinkle over the icing sugar and add a squeeze of lemon juice.

9 Saute over a fairly high heat for a few minutes until lightly caramelised. Tip the bananas into the butterscotch sauce, stirring gently to combine. Cook for 30 seconds or so and take off the heat.

10 Put a pancake on a plate and spoon on the banana mix. Add a pancake and smear with toffee sauce and sprinkle over a handful of raspberries, reserving some for decorating.

11 Continue to layer in this way until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a pancake and a smear of toffee sauce. Decorate with the reserved raspberries and add a dusting of icing sugar. Place a mint sprig on top.

12 Drizzle some raspberry coulis around the edge of the plate and spoon some of the remaining butterscotch sauce around the pancake stack. Serve at once.
