Travel-writer and adventurer Phoebe Smith shares her recipe for cooking berry pancakes in the outdoors.
With fruit for slow-release energy and pancakes for a bit of a treat, these are the pseudo-healthy way to begin an adventure.
You can, of course, buy a ‘just add water’ pancake mix, which you can then simply add add the berries to and shake together. This is worth it if there are a few of you.

Mix the egg, milk and flour together in a bowl to form a smooth batter.
Stir in two-thirds of the berries – the mixture will turn a lovely shade of purple.
Turn on the camping stove and heat some of the butter or oil in a frying pan until sizzling hot. Place two spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, to make two pancakes. (You should be able to cook two small American-style pancakes at a time in most camping frying pans.)
As the batter starts to bubble, flip the pancakes, to cook on the second side. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cook a further two pancakes with the remaining batter. Serve with a scattering of berries and a drizzle of honey.
