Pancake Recipe

As pancake day is tomorrow, I thought I would share my favourite pancake recipe.  I love pancakes.  They’re something I enjoy all year round, not just on Shrove Tuesday.  My husband doesn’t like them, so it means when I make them I pretty much get the whole lot to myself!  Obviously now Oliver is around he will enjoy one too, but I still get plenty to myself.

I enjoy both american style pancakes and traditional pancakes  Generally if making american style I would top with golden syrup or maple syrup.  Although they are also great with a raspberry coulis or bacon!  When I make traditional pancakes I usually stick with the classic, lemon and sugar.  However I do really love them with Nutella, and with a bit of banana added in they are just delicious!  I’ve never tried a savoury pancake, I’m a bit scared to try them, to me they seem like they should be sweet.  I have given Oliver one with cream cheese, which he seemed to enjoy.
