Well today is of course Pancake Tuesday and as anyone knows preparation is the secret to making the perfect pancakes. Catherine Leyden joined us in the kitchen with her very-abled assistant Brent Pope to whip up some traditional favourites!
Ingredients
125g/4oz Odlums Cream Plain Flour
Pinch of Salt
1 Egg
300ml/½ pint Milk
Oil for frying
To serve
Fresh Berries
Maple Syrup
Method
1. Sieve flour and salt into a bowl.
2. Make a well in the centre of the flour, break in the egg and add about a third of the milk. Beat well, gradually pouring in the rest of the milk and drawing in the flour to make a smooth batter.
3. Pour batter into a jug and leave to stand for about 30 minutes.
4. Brush a pancake pan or frying pan with oil. When pan is hot, give batter a stir before pouring a thin layer onto pan.
5. Fry until golden brown, turn and fry other side until brown also.
6. Stack pancakes on a large plate, as they are cooked.
7. Fill with fresh fruit and drizzle with maple syrup, or choose from one of our other delicious fillings below. Enjoy!
