Pancake Tuesday
Some tasty treats for Pancake Tuesday..
For as long as I can remember we always had Pancakes
with lemon juice and Sugar, or if we were lucky we would get some Jam too.
Basic Pancake Recipe
********************
200g flour (plain)
300ml milk
200ml mineral water
2 eggs
pinch of salt
50ml oil
Method
********
Using a large bowl mix the flour milk eggs and salt and water
until you have a smooth paste. Then add the oil whisk until you have a creamy batter.
For best results leave the pancake mix for about an hour to set.
Then stick your apron on and hope for the best lol!!
Using a non stick pan..heat a small bit of oil until its sizzling then slightly lower the heat.
Using a ladle pour the mix into the pan enough to make an average 5inch round pancake.
Cook until the pancakes are dry around the edges then turn and cook until they are golden brown.

Another treat is the Strawberries and Cream filling.

100ml of Whipped Cream

100g of fresh Strawberries (cut in halves)

Smooth the Jam around one side of the Pancake. Allow it to cool before topping it with
2 spoons of whipped cream then finish off with the Strawberries and sprinkle the Cocoa powder on top…
If you have no Cream a spoon of Vanilla Ice-cream is a good substitute!!!
