Evening all, so how many pancakes have you eaten today? I was aiming for none (supposed to be on the health wagon) but have so far consumed 4, whoops!
The girls have never been that taken with the traditional pancake, I’m a huge fan of sugar and lemon on a thin pancake, pure and simple, but previous years I have ended up with cold leftovers as they weren’t a hit.
This year I decided to try the American style on them, more substance, more up their street and I was right!
The idea of modifying you’re own food appeals a great deal to small people and these 2 were thrilled to be given free reign with golden syrup, raspberries, blueberries, lemon, sugar and chocolate spread.
Here’s the simple recipe I used –
Ingredients
- 300g Self Raising Flour (I used wholemeal as that’s what we had)
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 250ml Milk (I use skimmed but any is fine)
- 2 Eggs
Method
- Sift self raising flour into a large bowl
- Add the sugar
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs
- Add the eggs and milk into the flour and sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Heat a large frying pan to a medium heat and add the pancake mix.
- Cook until bubbles are starting to form on the top and then flip and cook for another minute until the pancakes are golden brown.
I added chocolate chunks to the batter in the pan for a few and some raspberries to some others, leaving a few plain.
Totally yummy and indulgent.
What are your family favourites? I’d love to hear from you.
I’m going to have bacon and syrup on my next cheat day.
