The Royal Chef's Smoked Pork & Cilantro Pancakes with Jalapeno Cream Cheese & Peach Jam

This recipe is from Darren McGrady, the former chef to Princess Diana!

In a large bowl, mix all of the pancake ingredients
together. Heat and lightly grease a skillet with the corn oil and spoon the
pancake mix into the pan. Cook for about 1 minute until brown on the bottom and
then turn over to cook on the other side for a further minute. Remove to a
cooling rack.

Fold the diced jalapeno into the cream cheese and spoon onto
the pancakes. Top with the shredded meat and finish with a little peach jam or
chutney. Garnish with cilantro.
