Pancakes Recipe



1. Combine the flour with the salt in a bowl and make a wee well in the centre of the bowl and add the egg.


2. Whisk or stir well whilst adding the milk. Pour the mixture into a jug. Alternatively use a food processor to mix up all the ingredients and ensure there are no lumps. This mixture can be safely stored in the fridge for up to six hours before use.


3. Heat a wee bit of oil in a frying pan, ensuring it cover all areas of the pan. Pour some mixture into the pan (be heavy handed if, like me, you love thick pancakes), ensuring it's spread evenly.

4. Cook until one side is a nice golden brown colour and turn over to cook the other side - loons should attempt to flip this over as high as possible to impress the lassies! To tell if it needs flipping or turning look for small bubbles forming on the sides.

5. Cook until the other side is golden brown colour and serve with lemon juice, sprinkled sugar, maple syrup or a favourite topping.

Maw Broon has an alternative pancake recipe in her new book Maw Broon's But An' Ben Cookbook which she calls Shrove Tuesday Pancakes and also serves them to her family on Easter Sunday. She suggests serving them with lemon, sugar, jam, syrup or stewed apple.

mint chocolate chip pancakes


Ingredients:

One and a third cups of all-purpose flour

One tablespoon of granulated sugar

One teaspoon baking powder

Half a teaspoon baking soda

Half teaspoon salt

One cup buttermilk

One large egg

Two tablespoons butter which has been melted and cooled to lukewarm with extra for the cooking

Half teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Half a teaspoon of pure mint extract or peppermint extract depending on your taste

Three to four drops of green food colouring (optional)

Three quarters of a cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for the topping

Whipped cream for serving

Vanilla ice cream to serve with

Hot fudge sauce from the shops or use that described in Breakfast for Dinner to make your own.



How To Make Pancakes


Sift the flour with the sugar, salt, baking powder and soda into a bowl.

Whisk the buttermilk, egg, butter, extracts and food colouring together in a smaller bowl. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir until they are incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over a medium heat. Add half a tablespoon of butter which should sizzle and melt almost straight away.

Ladle a quarter of a cup of pancake batter into the skillet for each one, taking care not tol let them run together.

Cook for up to 2 minutes. The bottoms should turn golden brown and the edges start to bubble. Carefully flip and cook for up to 2 minutes more.

Transfer them to warmed plates and then repeat with the remaining batter mixture.

Serve warm with chipped cream, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce and a sprinkling of chocolate chips.
