Pancakes

So I know that I am a few days off with this post - but I figure, better late than never. Many people celebrated Shrove Tuesday on the 22nd February 2012. Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is known by most as pancake day. It is the day before Ash Wednesday and the day before Lent begins.

So while I thought we'd have an ENTIRE day of pancake eating, we only made them mid-day (we were out in the morning). After three pancakes I felt so ill from the sugar overdrive, we didn't make any more! :) Here's the recipe we used.

Ingredients:
about half a cup of plain flour
pinch of salt
2 eggs
about 3/4 cup of milk
1/3 cup of water
50 g butter

Directions:
Mix all together, until smooth. Add more liquid or flour, to adjust the consistency to suit your preferences. Pour some oil onto kitchen paper and lightly grease the pan. Flip away... :)

Use sugar and cinnamon, castor sugar and lemon, nutella, ham and cheese, savoury mince or any other topping you like. Roll or fold, and serve!

Buon appetito,
