INGREDIENT­S (MAKES 4)

01 Gains are made in the kitchen, you know. And by packing protein, fats and muscle-filling glycogen into breakfast you’re priming your body for growth. To start, combine all the dry batter ingredient­s, then add half the buttermilk. Beat until smooth then stir in the remainder. Set the batter aside for 10 minutes while you start work on the protein payload to come. 02 Combine crème fraîche with Japanese fruit juice yuzu. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then deseed the chilli pepper, chop it up and chuck it in. 03 Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick frying pan, then add 3tbsp of batter per cake. When cooked, top with smoked salmon – not only is the fish swimming in omega-3 fats, it also boasts a good hit of testostero­ne-raising vitamin D. Slather with your yuzu crème fraîche and sprinkle with chilli, coriander and plenty of black pepper to spike your metabolism. Second helpings encouraged.
