Today is Shrove Tuesday, time to dig out the lemon juice and sugar and get flipping!
We love pancakes, but it is such a pain for the chef (that’ll be Lisa) to have to stand in the kitchen cooking the pancakes and never getting to sit down and enjoy them.
Luckily for us, our raclette grill, which is a favourite in the winter for cooking meat and veg with the special raclette cheese, also makes pancakes. So, with the pancake mixture already prepared, we can all sit at the table and ladle out four pancakes at a time. A far more civilised, and sociable, solution!
Happy pancake day!
I’m sure that they tasted wonderful and you all got you required quota of calories with sugar, syrup, jam, Nutella or whatever. There is the problem that they are not really pancakes unless ‘tossed’ rather than ‘turned’ with a spatula, and the first one is always the cook’s (eaten standing up) as it always comes out a bit iffy until the old skills are remembered. Less batter is better. Anyway, at least we didn’t resort to buying them readymade!
