With Shrove Tuesday tomorrow it seemed wrong not to share with you my favourite failsafe pancake recipe. This is a Nigella recipe from her Feast book that I make quite often. Here is my picture from last year… be warned I wasn’t blogging so it is pretty poor but hopefully you will get the idea:
You will see that the recipe suggests adding melted butter before cooking the pancakes. I don’t add this to try and reduce the calories which, is why mine are browner than they would normally be. The sausages are Weight Watchers ones dry fried so are also browner than usual and I also add a drizze of golden syrup. Yummy… hope you enjoy it. What do you serve your pancakes with?
Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
1 very ripe banana
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp melted butter
Method:
Mash the banana and whisk in the egg and sugar. Add all the other ingredients apart from the butter and whisk well.
Heat the butter and mix into the batter just before you are ready to fry.
Put small dollops of mixture into a hot pan and turn once the surface starts to bubble.
I like mine the size of scotch pancakes… they taste a bit like them too 🙂
