![]() Shrove Tuesday may be my second favourite holiday, after Christmas of course. I love, love pancakes and the fact that they just use up store cupboard ingredients is the best part. I don't just have them on Pancake Day, in fact it's one of my Birthday traditions that someone cooks me pancakes for my breakfast, normally served with Ben and Jerry's ice cream - it is only once a year after all! There are so many different recipes for pancakes; but this one is my Mum's and in truth probably my Grandma's and Great Nana's too. It's beyond easy. We make ours up a few hours before, last night in fact so that it can rest and was ready for breakfast pancakes - with lemon and sugar of course! Basic Pancakes This is in old school metric, it's that old! It's also for the British style of pancakes, the American ones are yummy; but just aren't the same.

LOVE pancakes!! In fact, I really wanted to go to IHOP yesterday but I overdid it this past weekend, and was still in crash mode. Am still in crash mode. So I didn't get to go, and didn't have the energy to make them myself. Ah, well. Hopefully sometime soon. Comments are closed.
