Bean Tin Hill Pancakes - Thanks to Julia Hall

1. Pack pancake mix & preferred toppings - lemon and sugar is always a winner or perhaps chocolate spread (as I am writing this with my Guide Leader hat on), baked bean tin (full or empty, half-tin size works best), penknife, tea lights, matches & cooking spray into rucksack, backpack or knapsack (depending on generation)
2. Select picturesque walking route, preferably one with a splendid view halfway round or perhaps chose a geo-caching target
3. At some point on your journey - eat the beans
4. When you are ready for a Pancake Moment - mix flour, egg, pinch of salt and some milk (perhaps you have already mixed it before you left and are carrying it in a flask?)
5. Pierce the bean tin several times with your penknife (air vents to encourage air flow)
6. Light the tea light, place it on a stone or other non-flammable surface, out of any strong winds and put the upside down bean tin over the flame
7. Lightly spray the surface of the bottom of the bean tin with the cooking spray and pour a little of the pancake mix on - there is usually a lip on the tin that will stop it pouring over the edge
8. Half-tin sized tins are the best for this - they are that bit nearer the tea light!
9. When little bubbles appear in the surface of the pancake - flip it with your penknife - the cooking spray should mean it won't stick
10. When both sides are cooked, slather with preferred topping and guzzle!
11. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Lay banana at one edge of pancake
Sprinkle pancake with almonds and chocolate chips, and drizzle with honey (not too much or it all gets very messy!)
Roll the banana up in the pancake so you end up with a sort of banana/ pancake roll
