Pancake Day Ideas

With Pancake Day quickly approaching this Tuesday, I thought it'd be helpful to share some ideas on how to dress up your pancakes.
These are some of my favourite pancake flavours:

  • Banana and Walnut
Just add quarter of a teaspoon cinnamon, 3 ripe mashed bananas and a handful of chopped walnuts into the batter!









  • Spinach and Mushroom
Boil some spinach and mushrooms in a pan, with cheddar cheese and some salt and pepper to taste. Then serve your crepes with this yummy mixture!
(this is my personal favourite!)








  • Mixed Berries
When you spoon the pancake batter into the pan, simply, sprinkle your favourite berries over it. Serve with maple/golden syrup and more delicious berries!









  • Apple
Peel and thinly slice 3 Granny Smith apples, and cook these with some butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until they are softened (but not mushy).
Then mix these into the batter, and make your pancakes as normal. Serve with some maple/golden syrup and a glass of apple juice! Deee-licious...

I really do love my pancakes, after all, who doesn't, but to make the best pancakes, you must find the best batter recipe, otherwise, your delicious flavours, won't be quite as perfect.
Here's a link to my favourite batter recipes:

Scotch pancakes (the smaller thicker kind):

Crepes (the larger thinner kind):

Et voila! I hope you liked the pancake ideas, and I wish you a very scrumptious Tuesday! ;)
