Ideas for Pancake Day!

Pancake Day's just around the corner (4th March), which means lots of tossing and sticky mess on ceilings!

I can't help with how to avoid that but I can help with some recipes, as my daughter thinks everyday is pancake day.


Banana Pancakes (Serves 6)

125g plain flour
85g wholemeal flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons caster sugar
335ml buttermilk
2 small ripe bananas (finely chopped)

In a large bowl, mix both flours, salt, baking powder and sugar. Stir in buttermilk and bananas until just moist.

Heat a frying pan, lightly oiled, over a medium heat. Pour approximately 60ml of batter into the pan and brown both sides before serving.


Mango and Honey Pancakes

Using the above recipe, or your own, make a batch of pancakes and then stack them with cubed mango then drizzle with honey. Serve with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt.




If you don't have a sweet tooth, try a savoury pancake!

Make your pancakes. Steam seasonal vegetables, whatever you fancy. Mix Philadelphia cheese with a small amount of milk and warm through. Mix with the vegetables and fill your pancakes!
