Place the dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk together. Add the raisins and whisk again.
140 g wholemeal spelt flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp golden caster sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ⅛ tsp ground cloves, good grating of nutmeg, 1 pinch sea or rock salt, 50 g raisins
Make a well in the centre, break in the egg and add the kefir. Whisk together, then add the melted butter and whisk again. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes whilst you make a start on the chocolate sauce.
150 g kefir, buttermilk, sour milk or watered down yoghurt, large egg, 20 g unsalted butter
Heat a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Just coat the surface with the butter or oil. Place a heaped tablespoon of batter into the pan and form into rough circles.
1 tbsp sunflower oil
Turn down the heat slightly, so it's medium low rather than medium high and cook until you see bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes - about 3-4 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Either serve immediately, or cover the pancakes with a tea towel to keep them warm and to stop them drying out whilst you finish cooking the rest.
Chocolate Sauce
Roughly break up the chocolate and place in a small pan together with 75ml water and the other ingredients. Set over a low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the chocolate melted. Don't worry if it's a bit lumpy at this stage.
50 g dark chocolate, 30 g golden caster sugar, 1 pinch sea or rock salt
Crank up the heat a little until the mixture is bubbling lightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth, thick and glossy, but still pourable.
Pour over the freshly cooked pancakes whilst still warm.
