Nordic Ware Waffle Pancake Pan
I know pancakes are historically eaten on Shrove Tuesday which is not until the 8th March, but I can’t resist posting this recipe which I tried to fob off at a recent ceremonial dinner as Crepes la mыre.
“What’s that then,” said one in every of our plain speaking guests. “Posh pancakes?”
The title didn’t do it for him, but the pancakes have been delicious so I’m sharing it here. You should use almost any fruit, I simply occur to have an abundance of blackberries.
First off it’s essential make the batter. This may make about eight pancakes together with a small taster which I share with the dog.
Batter
4oz (100g) plain flour.
Half a Pint (250ml) of milk.
1 Egg Pinch of Salt
(Sue’s tip: Once I used to make pancakes for the kids I used additional flour to make thicker pancakes. This was a great filler and stopped them raiding the pantry when my again was turned!)
Pancakes are traditionally served with sugar, lemon or oranges which in my opinion are still the very best, however hey, we’re doing posh pancakes right here so this is the…
The Posh Bit
Gently stew half a pound or so blackberries in a bit honey and water, (or higher nonetheless brandy!). Keep heat until all pancakes have been cooked.
Cooking the little blighters
Take it from me, that is the hard bit! Having scraped fragments of charred batter from range tops and kitchen floors on innumerable occasions, I am now something of an skilled at pancake cooking! So right here goes:
Heat the frying pan and get it actually hot.
Rub it throughout with the greasy wrapper from a block of lard or margarine. (When you prefer simply soften a small piece of fat or oil in the middle of the pan, but not an excessive amount of!).
When it is really hot pour in a few tablespoons of batter. (I’ve batter in a jug, makes it easier to pour).
Tilt the pan to spread the batter.
It ought to only take a minute or so to get the pancake brown. You can normally inform as the edges start to lift.
Are You A Tosser?
Most people are not through which case you may have to flip the pancake over through the use of one thing like a fish slice.
If you possibly can toss although, the job is done shortly and neatly with no tearing though I’ve to confess to spending appreciable time selecting dog hairs out of a few casualties that landed on the floor. Still, what Nearest & Dearest would not know won’t hurt him!
Making ‘em Posh
Now you’ve got cooked all of the batter you can make full use of your artistic skills by spooning the blackberry combine onto the pancake, rolling, drizzling with just a little honey, treacle or maple syrup and piping pretty little spirals of whipped cream alongside the top.
I’d love to be able to show you those I made earlier, however alas there were no left-overs and I didn’t have the foresight to take photographs on the time, primarily because of the reality I’d forgotten what time company had been arriving and was operating an hour late.
