Method

Ingredients

1. Combine all the ingredients except the butter and honey in a large bowl and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick pan over a high heat. Add about 4 apple-sized spoonfuls of batter to the pan, spacing them evenly.
3. Once you notice small bubbles appearing on the surface of the batter, gently flip over and cook for a further 5–7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Serve with a smear of butter and some chilli honey.

Woolworths' venison biltong bites are mildly spiced in the traditional South African way, and have a rich, gamey flavour. They're made using specially selected venison that graze freely – gemsbok, springbok, blesbok, wildebeest, kudu, hartebeest, eland, impala or buffalo. Whether they're swirled through batter to make savoury scones or crumpets, or added to lunchboxes or trail mix for snacking, these tasty bites deliver bold flavour.
