Everyone loves the classics - sugar and lemon, chocolate spread, maple syrup, a little bit of jam, but given that this was a little more special than every previous pancake day, I thought it would be fun to experiment a little...
I found a basic pancake recipe, and had quite a lot of fun coming up with some alternative concoctions! Why not have a go??

3 tbs Brown Sugar

In a separate jug, whisk together the milk, egg and melted butter
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the milk mixture a bit at a time, whisking as you go
Leave to stand for an hour

They look delicious. I like the sound of cinnamon ones. I need to be more adventurous next year.
ReplyDeleteLovely recipes. Blueberry sounds divine! Especially taken by your flags. I always forget the little touches like that. Joining in for the first time. Bit of meal planning to make the most of the season.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't really celebrate pancake day too much this year as we've had a lot of pancakes in the run up to it! But i did a bit of disastrous experimenting. I tried peanut butter in the mix and also chocolate spread - neither worked! The peanut butter ones tasted extremely salty and the chocolate spread ones didn't really firm up in the pan (i think cocoa is the way to go like you made in future). We did do some blueberry and raspberry ones (similar to yours above) which did work out ok thankfully. x
