Cloud eggs and pancakes

130g flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
30g melted butter
150g milk
1 egg
4 more eggs
cheddar cheese
marmite

Sift the dry ingredients together. Melt the butter and mix with 1 egg and the milk. Combine the wet into the dry and stir only a few times without overbeating. Never mind the lumps. Let the batter rest an hour if possible. While the eggs are baking below, cook four pancakes and spread them thinly with marmite.

Beat four egg whites until very stiff. Add finely grated cheddar and pepper. Preheat the oven to gas 7. Spoon four mounds of meringue onto baking paper, making a well in the top of each. Bake for about 7 minutes. (Now make the pancakes.) When the meringues are showing some colour, pull them out for a moment and slip a yolk into each well. Reduce the heat to gas 5 and bake another 5 minutes. Serve on top of the pancakes, drizzled with melted butter.
