Seeing as it’s pancake day tomorrow I thought I would re-post my pancake recipe so you can mix it up tomorrow. 🙂
These are the simplest easiest pancakes!
Basic pancake recipe
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
pinch of salt
That’s it! whisk it all together and you have your pancake mix. Easy as. Now add any flavour you like. For my savoury pancakes I added wilted spinach, spring greens and spring onion. Add to a hot oiled pan and fry on either side for a couple of minutes or until golden.
You will be surprised at how many pancakes this mix makes!
A few savoury ideas:
- Potato
- Spinach
- Corn
- Tuna
- Onion
- Mushroom
- Leek
- Parsnip
- Honey and mustard
- Chives or other herbs
- A base topped with cream cheese and smoked salmon
I also made some sweet pancakes. Use the same recipe as above including the pinch of salt and add a few tablespoons of sugar. I added grated apple and pear.
Please note, once I had added my grated fruit the mix was a bit wet from the water content in the fruit. If yours looks the same add a few more tablespoons of flour. Had I only added one fruit it probably would have been fine.
A few sweet ideas:
- Apple
- Pear
- Cinnamon
- Blueberries
- Lemon juice
- Maple syrup or honey
- Bananas
- Orange or lemon zest
These pancakes are great for a breakfast, brunch, a snack, glammed up as dessert or as part of a meal. They are also a basic Yorkshire pudding recipe.
Enjoy and Happy pancake day!
