Yes, that's right people it's that time of year already! It's time for everyone to get those frying pans out and start flipping, well those that can hehe!
In preparation, last week, we brought one of those "just add water" bottles of pancake mix thinking that it was the safest option... We were wrong! Not only did the mix turn out to be SUPER runny but our frying pan had a ridge so high I might as well had fried the pancakes in a wok!!
So taking this in to account, on my way home from work, I stopped in to our local ROBERT DYAS and purchased the holy grail of frying pans. I didn't make the same mistake by buying a mix and thought I'd turn to the helpful hints and tips of none other than Mr Ainsley Harriet and his recipe for "American Dream Pancakes".
I have to say, the cooking went extremely well. I even got every flip right and none ended up as a crumpled mess in the pan.... or on the floor!
Now, some like their pancakes with a little bit of sugar and lemon juice, others might fancy a bit of maple syrup... With us, knowing that I was making them from scratch, relied (quite heavily) on everyone's good friends mr Ben and Jerry!! Yep, you guessed it. Whilst in TESCO I spotted that they had their BnJ tubs on offer so I grabbed a tub of "FAIRLY NUTS" and knew I was all set.
Needless to say, they were enjoyed by all despite being a little rubbery!
We hope you all had a wonderful Shrove Tuesday!!
