Pankcake Tuesday :)

I'm very excited about Pancake Tuesday, I've been thinking of some super saucy fillings for the past month amd it's caused me quite a few sleepless nights!! I'm having a pancake party and have to feed about 20 mouths, so....
There will obviously be the usual lemon and sugar, well you can never go wrong with that combination,
I was thinking of mixing it up a bit with some 1)Blueberries and sugar.
2)Nutella/chocolate sauce and Chopped almonds(or the nut of your choice)
3) Strawberries and Cream
4) Maple Syrup and Bacon
5) Chocolate chips - white, plain and milk
6) Stewed apple with brown sugar, cinammon and raisins

So i reckon with all of those filling I can't go wrong with the pancake hungry mob,

The recipe I'm using is a Delia Smith one

You will need:

110g Plain flour
2 eggs
2 tabelspoons of melted butter
pinch of salt
75ml water
200ml Milk

I think the good old traditional pancake recipe is the key and none of this pancake in a bottle malarkey, the whole fun of the day is experimenting and getting very messy!!!

1)Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl


2)Make a well in the centre and add in the eggs, whisking to blend in the eggs and incorporate air.

lumps should disappear when you begin to add in the liquid so don't panic!!
3)Add in the milk and water until it forms a light batter
4)Try to use a non stick pan as this makes the process a whole lot easier. I got mine in Dunnes :)
5)add a knob of butter to a heated pan
6)add the melted butter to your batter
7)stir through until it is smooth and ready to ladle into the pan
8)Ladle you rmisture into the pan and make sure it spreads evenly around the pan
9)Cook for about a minute on either side on a reduced heat

10)Happy Flipping!!

Photos will be up after tonights festivities!!
