I know, it has been a while. Busy periods, holidays, new job, etc.. etc.. but now, after running out of excuses, we are back in business and how!!
Today, Jamie officially declared the 16th of february as pancake day!!
Could life get any more exciting than this right now? Goodbye winter blues, cold temperatures, snow & darkness, hello sunshine!!
And to make everybody madly want pancakes, enjoy...(thank you jamie.. :-) )
APPLE PANCAKES WITH THE GIRLS
These are the fluffiest, loveliest American-style pancakes ever. You can have fun with it by switching up the fruit; strawberries, apples, blackberries, blueberries and bananas are all delicious in these pancakes so feel free to swap out the pears for any of those. The batter will keep as good as gold in the fridge for a day or two if you have any leftover.
1. Put the flour, milk, egg and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Once combined, grate in the pear, core and all then stir it through with a spoon.
2. Put a large pan on a medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once that melts, add the batter, a spoonful at a time to the hot pan. You’ll need to cook them in batches, cooking them for a few minutes until golden on the bottom then flipping over and cooking for a few minutes more until they’re done.
3. When they are golden and fluffy serve them right away with a dollop of natural yoghurt and some runny honey drizzled all over the top.
USA PANCAKES FOR REAL MEN!
Whisk the whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks. Fold into the batter – it is now ready to use.
Heat a good non-stick pan on a medium heat. Pour some of your batter into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to look golden and firm. At this point sprinkle your chosen flavouring (see below) on to the uncooked side before loosening with a spatula and flipping the pancake over.
Continue frying until both sides are golden.
