Bikers pea soup with pancakes recipe

Si and Dave served up tasty ham and pea soup served with pancakes in Finland on The Hairy Bikers’ Northern Exposure.

The Bikers says: “This hearty soup gets its flavour from ham hock. It’s traditionally eaten on Thursdays, with Finnish pancakes for dessert!”

The ingredients are: 300g split peas, pinch bicarbonate of soda, 1 small ham hock, 2 onions, one left whole with 2 cloves stuck in and one diced, 1 blade of mace, 2 bay leaves, 1 carrot, diced, 1 tbsp hot mustard, 100ml double cream (optional) and salt and freshly ground black pepper.
