OPPS… SHROVE TUSDAY WAS LAST TUESDAY BUT PANCAKES ARE ANYTIME
Pancake Day 2010: Xanthe Clay shows how to prepare pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, with cinnamon, banana and chocolate, in under five minutes.
Classic pancake batter (makes 4-6):
- Half a pint (a large mugful) milk
- an egg
- 4 heaped dessertspoons of plain flour
- 1tsp vanilla essence (optional)
- knob of butter
Put a frying pan on to heat with a knob of butter in it.
With a handblender or a whisk blend the milk, egg, flour and a pinch of salt.
Tip in most of the melted butter and whiz again.
Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, swirling it around until it coats the pan.
Cook for a few seconds, then flip it over and cook on the other side.
Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Serve with sugar and lemons or Seville oranges to squeeze over.
For cinnamon, banana and chocolate pancakes (makes 2-3):
- pancake mix (as above)
