Pancakes Sweet

Pancake Tuesday…

My Grandmother was a big influence while I was growing up, she lived next door & I often “hopped” the wall into her house where I would happily spend hours watching her cooking, knitting or gardening. When I was a teenager she passed away on a Pancake Tuesday, now over 3 decades later I still remember her with affection when I am preparing pancakes which is a regular occurrence in our house as they are too delicious to reserve for just one date every year.… JJ

It Couldn’t be easier…

æ      Combine the flour, milk, melted butter & eggs in the goblet of a liquidiser & blend to a smooth batter

æ      In a heavy based frying pan melt a small knob of butter until it is almost smoking – the pan should be coated but there should be no excess butter

æ      Spoon a ladle of the batter into the centre of the pan and tilt slightly to distribute evenly, cook until pin prick holes appear in the surface of the batter

æ      Turn carefully & cook for a further few minutes until the pancake begins to puff slightly and is a golden colour on the underside

æ      Remove from the pan & keep warm, add another small knob of butter to the pan which should be hot enough to melt it instantly with a hiss… continue until all the batter is used

æ      Serve pancakes warm spread with butter, caster sugar & lemon juice… yum!

Variety Show…

 The variations are endless – nutella, ice-cream & butterscotch sauce, banana, chopped nuts & whipped cream… enjoy JJ
