Happy Shrove Tuesday



Hey My Loves - Just though I'd show you a picture of my pancakes - I've assisted but I've never made them on my own before today. The first one was a bit of a disaster, a bit too much pancake mix meant it remained quite soft and collapsed when I took it out of the pan. Never mind I persevered and the rest were cooked to perfection, multiple tosses, the works. Key tips if your going to make pancakes - first of all a non stick pan makes life a lot easier, and secondly don't put too much mix in the pan at once - Voila perfect pancakes which are 100% gluten free and were lovely. I'm a tradtionalist when it comes to pancakes and served mine with a mixture of freshly squeezed lemon, orange and lime juice, and sugar all topped with evaporated milk - yum - Have you had pancakes today and What's you favourite pancake topping?

  1. Mega thumbs up for also having gluten free pancakes! My favourite topping would have to be either strawberry jam or nutella. Traditional is good, but I just can't resist jam!

    1. I've seen a few people having them with jam today not something I've ever tried - although I did have some somewhere in blackpool with strawberry coullis which was yum!

  2. Gluten-free for us too. Actually I've been making pancakes for some years (my coeliac son is 14, so making them gluten-free for about twelve), and the first one always seems to be a disaster! We have assorted flavours, personally I like the sugar and lemon though :)

    1. Thanks for the comment lovely x I told me mum about it and she says her first one even with normal flour is always a disaster - I definitely think I put too much batter in for the first one

  4. Ive been eating pancakes all day! My fave filling of the day has to be nutella, and rice pudding, i was abit sceptical when my friend put the plate infront of me, but it was actually the best filling of the day! and then there was hot pancakes and a scoop of choc icecream! Goodbye diet....
